Once again, on behalf all members and their family of KYC UK and, as the Chairman I would like to thanks all our generous members and their families for sponsoring the above items for the KYC UK. Your help in this way not only contributed greatly towards the very successful financial result but will also enhance the pleasure of the occasion for every one in future.   

The final cost calculation of ornaments is Rs 1,16000.00 ( in words Rs. One lakh sixteen thousand).  Therefore, each share per person Rs 1,16000 ÷ 6 = RS 19,333.33. The exchange rate at the time of  purchase was £1 = Rs 135. Therefore Rs 19,333 ÷ 135 =  £ 143.21 pence.  The final cost of chyabrung is Rs 4000.00 and therefore per person cost is Rs 4000 ÷ 135 = £29.62. 

The above members who have opted to donate these important items for YKC UK are kindly requested to make payment direct to our YKC UK bank account as follows:

Payable to:  Yakthung Chumlung UK
            Bank:  Barclays
