Hello everyone, hope you all enjoyed the Deaf Ethnic Cultural Mela on Saturday 4 October 2008 in Walthamstow, North London. The day was wonderful, filled up with exhibitions, arts and crafts.

The evening itself was spectacular, with approximately 450 people, including children. RAD hosted “Deafies Got Talent” for the first time, to give Deaf contestants a great opportunity to show off their talents. We are pleased to announce that Roshan won for his brilliant performance of breakdance. If you missed his performance, you can watch him at Moon and Light festival provided by deafPLUS on 15 November 2008.

After a delicious three Asian courses meal – we provided a variety of performances, including Ricccardo Weare’s two beautiful signed songs. At the end, it was a well packed event!

We really want your feedback on the Deaf Ethnic Cultural Mela on 4 October 2008! Please email your feedback to mela@royaldeaf.org.uk. We look forward to hearing from you!
