Day 1

Up early as always, time for Team Covered to get back on the wedding buzz! 9am we leave for supposedly sunny Bournemouth. Well then again, it’s the end of October, we weren’t expecting the best weather! Come 11:30 we landed in Bournemouth and went straight to the groom’s house.

The atmosphere was buzzing to say the least, a house filled with kids running around and adults running around even faster making sure everything was done before the last minute. We took in the atmosphere of an brilliant Mendhi day in store, and then got straight to work. First of all came the time of the groom  for his personal photoshoot while he was preparing himself for his memorable day. Once he and everyone else were ready it was time to head off to the Mendhi venue. Upon arriving we took the necessary shots of the ceremony where everyone was enjoying themselves to say the least. As the shots show it was full of colour and vibrancy which really set the scene for the whole weekend.

Music was playing, people were laughing and food was being served, what more do you need from a wedding?  As always Team Covered loved every second of it and were looking forward to what was to come next throughout the weekend.

The evening went on and people enjoyed themselves more and more, until the evening finally came to a close. However there was nothing to worry about, the fun only just started. The real fun and colour was to be shown on the next day, here we go!

Day 2

Here comes the biggest day of anyone’s life. Luthfur and Khayanat were ready to exchange their vows and become life partners. The day started off with the team making our way to Luthfur’s house to film pre wedding pre wedding preparations, once they had all been taken care of it was time to head off to the venue.

We made our way 15 minutes down the road to Poole at the beautiful Lighthouse venue. A venue fit for a wedding, a capacity of approximately 500 people, all topped up with the most stunning decorations & ambience to make this a day to remember for not only the lucky couple but the guests also. Guests slowly but surely came in and found their seats, and it was finally time for Luthfur to make his big entrance in his vintage swallow car. Which can only be described as nothing short of beautiful.

Everyone settled down and took their seats, the groom made his way to the beautifully constructed stage and his day of weekend of celebrity status continued, photos of him being taken every minute. We’re sure that he was loving it, judging by the smile he had on his face all day in each photo. The day went on, photos were taken, videos were shot and everyone stayed smiling.

After the delicious food was devoured up, the most important 10 minutes of anyone’s life was fast approaching. First of all it was time for Luthfur to complete the Nikkah ceremony, and of course it went smoothly. After both the groom and bride had completed the Nikkah ceremony, it was official we now had ourselves a married couple!

Sticking with cultural tradition, it was now time for the married couple to finally sit next to each other for the first time as a married couple. We are sure that every single person in that room would agree that the two really did make a stunning couple.

The evening went on, and the wedding cake was cut. Finally after a long weekend, it was time for packing up and heading home. The newly married couple made their way to their home and it was time for Team Covered to make our way home. Tired, to say the least!

We would like to take this time to thank everyone who made the success possible. First of all Luthfur and Khayant for taking us on for this wedding ,second of all Surraya for being the link between the couple and Covered Media and last but not least Hassan, Zohaib and Tim for doing a fantastic job over the weekend and representing Covered Media brilliantly as always.

On a more personal note, 21^st October saw the one year anniversary of Covered Media. Wow what a year it has been, travelling all around the country and meeting all kinds of new people from all walks of life has truly been a brilliant experience. We want to take the time to thank every single person who has made this year truly memorable for us. Our Family, our friends, our customers and everyone who has supported us throughout the year. We’ve made our mark within a year, and be sure of it – we are here to stay Inshallah to continue making people smile and helping cover those everlasting memories.

Here we are, back to where it all began. It was time for Covered Media to go back to our roots where the Covered hype really kicked off. It was time for Brent Eid Festival 2012!

Three weeks prior to the event, we received the call inviting us back to where we first tasted success, and needless to say – we jumped at the chance. This year it was promised to be bigger and better, and they did not disappoint. With advertising taken to a whole new level, gracing the screens of Geo TV and the front pages of the Jang newspaper, it was sure to be the best Eid Festival yet.

Sunday 9th September, the team set off for London in anticipation for a fun filled day. As usual we arrived earlier than anyone else, even the organisers! It’s just the Covered way to do things, precise and professional.

We managed to set up our portable studio, with a few technical difficulties along the way, but  nonetheless we were ready and raring to go by the time the event started. Slowly but surely the event goers made their way to the festival to enjoy the fun, festivities and food. The day was spent with guests of all ages coming through the doors and leaving with big smiles on their face, largely thanks to Team Covered of course. The studio was kept busy all day with families and couples wanting their two minute photo shoot done, and of course they were more than pleased with the results.

The day continued in this fashion, happy customers and a happy Team Covered, what more could we ask for? Throughout the day there was a sense of nostalgia, nearly a year previously we were here, nervous, worried and a little bit scared! Nonetheless here we were, at our second Brent Eid Festival with the team brimming with confidence.

The day came to an end, and yet again we proved to be a huge success. A day filled with great organisation, a great team and great guests could only result in a great day! As always a massive thanks goes to the team for the day – Zohaib, Hassan, Surraya and last but not least Milad. Without the help of the ever growing team, Covered Media would not be half as successful as it is right now.

We can only continue to go onwards and upwards from here. After yet another hugely successful event it is time to build upon this and not stop working hard until we are where we want to be. Up until then we will continue to bring smiles upon as many faces as we can!

Day 1:

Before writing this blog, I speak on behalf of Team Covered when I say this was the most enjoyable event we have covered to date. Harry and Sonika showed faith in the team to cover the biggest moments of their lives, and by no means whatsoever did we ever let them down.

Months earlier we met the blushing bride to be and the stressed out husband at Asiana. They approached the famous q38 stall and noticed straight away how enthusiastic we were. Luckily for both parties, that day we booked their pre wedding ceremonies and had been looking forward to it
ever since.

The afternoon of Thursday 26th July, Team Covered set off for Birmingham. This having been our first Sikh, a nervous team was an understatement. However we were more than ready, we were excited as ever and were anticipating a bright fun and exuberant event ahead – we were not disappointed!

We arrived in Birmingham and made our way straight to the Brides house. Last minute preparations were confirmed, we can never be over prepared so it’s always good to ensure we are as ready as ready can be.

The following day it was time for the first ceremony Mayan time! Both the bride and groom had their mayan at the same time so the team split up and were located in both Birmingham and Wolverhampton. The Mayan on both sides both had a mixture of culture and humour. The perfect mix for a perfect event. The ceremony itself lasted approximately 45 minutes on each side with both the bride and groom looking a bit worse for wear then when they started! Pictures and footage will back this up! Nonetheless both families had a fantastic time, and the tone was set for what was to be a brilliant weekend.

The clocks hit midday and that meant it was time to bring the Mayan to a close and to start
preparing for the evening. An evening filled with dancing and laughter. Harry was scheduled to have his Jaggo ceremony at 7pm that evening whereas on the other hand Sonika had scheduled her Sangeet for 6pm. We had already designated which crew member would be where and doing what beforehand therefore we were as organised as we possibly could be.

The times came for each respective ceremony; Harry had booked out a beautiful venue in the form of JB’s banqueting suite and Sonika had all her girls to thank for constructing an equally beautiful venue in her back garden. A mixture of lights and colour proved both venues to be fantastic backdrops for a night of fun filled antics.

As the night went on, food was eaten (a lot) of alcohol was consumed and this could only mean more dancing! Both families participated to the fullest which was great to see and as the night went on more and more people hit the dance floor and showed off those moves that can only be described as – indescribable!

The nights came to an end both families were worn out after a truly memorable night. However this was only the beginning! Time for the next day!

Day 2

Saturday came and it was time for Sonika’s family to have their Jaggo fun. The scheduled time was 6pm sharp. (Asian timing meant that we started at 6:30) The back garden was again the venue, and yet again it proved the perfect backdrop for a night of intimacy and fun filled antics. The guests quickly found their seats (and alcohol) and were prepared for what was to be a memorable night.

Throughout the night the family and friends danced till their feet couldn’t take it anymore. Even then that wasn’t enough – they took the party to the street! Dancing down the street with the dhol at 10pm was a fantastic sight. Make sure you keep updated for footage to see how big the party really was.

The night went on, the Jaggo ceremony took place and people ate, drank and danced through the night in true Indian fashion. As the night came to a close this was our scheduled time to finish for the weekend and get some well earned rest. However we couldn’t leave it here, there was something missing. The wedding ceremony was taking place the next day and we just needed something a little
extra.

We decided, after agreeing with Sonika, we had one more bit of footage to shoot. The bride was scheduled to start he make up and hair preparations at 4:30am the following morning so what film could be complete without the blushing bride getting ready for the biggest day of her life?

So there it was, Team Covered got back to work at 4:30am all the way through to 9:00am just to ensure we got the best footage possible – and that we certainly did! By the end of the preparations Sonika looked as breathtaking as ever, Ravita Make Up did a fantastic job and worked through the night and produced a bride fit for the biggest day of her life.

Finally our work was done. After an amazing weekend filled with amazing footage, meeting amazing people and having some great fun it was home time!

As always at the end of these blogs we take the time to thank everyone who has helped along the way. However in this one there are far too many people. Both the Harry and Sonika family were a great help to us over the weekend and we cannot thank you enough. Team Covered consisting of Zohaib, Hassan and Tim worked tirelessly through the weekend and the results will definitely prove that this weekend was truly one to remember.

To finish, here are a few words from the newly married couple about Covered Media

“Covered Media have been amazing, they were never in the way and were always there to take the right shots. Although they are young It felt like the team have been doing this for years with the standard of their work and the passion they put in to it.” 

Harry & Sonika Kudhail

                    A special Husband & Wife moment in the middle of the festivities.

Saturday 14^th July – the day Saima and Gaffer changed each other’s lives forever. Team Covered made our way to Watford to make sure we cover every moment of a very special day. As per usual we arrived early in order to capture every necessary shot, and of course just to make a good impression!

Team Covered arrived at the beautiful house of Gaffer and what was there ready to greet us? A Rolls Royce Phantom.  A good start to the day, to say the least! After picking our jaws up off the ground, we got to work. Shots from all angles, photos of nearly every inch of the car. As I am sure you will see, the photos were all worth it seeing how stunning this car was.

Location shots – done. Fancy Car shots – done.  All that was left now was to find the groom himself and put him under the spotlight. However in true fashionable style, he was late! (According to Saima a late night the night before was the cause!) Nonetheless Gafffer got ready and looked as smart as ever. All he needed now was a smart car to jump in, which was waiting right outside! Again necessary shots were taken of Gaffer sat in the Phantom ready to go start the rest of his life.

An hour behind schedule we finally arrived at the venue in Southall. Spice Village was our destination and if anything simplicity was the key. A simple layout, a simple set up and yet it was still so strikingly beautiful. Just like all previous venues we have had the pleasure of visiting – this is a superb venue for any couple.

Upon the arrival of both the bride and groom at separate times, it was time for the biggest part of the day. The Nikkah. Firstly it was the turn of Saima to utter perhaps the most important words of her life. Nonetheless she did so and there it was, half the job was done! Now the turn of Gaffar to seal the deal, after a beautifully crafted Khutbah by the Imam it was final! Gaffar and Saima were a married couple. Ready to start the long journey of ups and downs known as marriage.

The wedding ceremony went on through the afternoon. The weather may not have been the greatest outside, yet this still didn’t affect the mood inside. Delicious Food, great music and a blushing newly married couple! What more could you ask for?

The ceremony drew to a close and it was time for nearly everyone to finally put their feet up. Not quite i’m afraid. After a brainwave from the creative director himself, we managed to arrange a separate photo shoot of the couple. Which turned out better than expected and underlined the high quality of the service of Covered Media.

Now it was time to finally finish! After a long day it was time for Team Covered to put their feet up. Huge thanks to the team members for the day, Zohaib, Hassan, Dan and Neil. A special thanks must go to the couple for trusting our ability and of course we did not let them down! Faye Ahmed receives a special mention for being the translator between an eager Team Covered and a stressed bride! All in all, another day, another wedding, another success.

A week before the wedding, the Sales Director Hassan is invited to a wedding. Opportunity? I think so! The family are frantically looking for someone to take care of the Videography. Have no fear, Covered Media are there to take care of any problems!

Sunday 1^st July was the date for the Walima reception of Asad and Saimah. Arriving two hours before the given time in order to cover every possible shot. Dedication? I think so. Covered Media arrived at the First Floor restaurant in Oxford ready to capture the necessary shots of the preparations.

The restaurant spoke for itself. A beautiful 200 seat capacity establishment fit for a beautiful a ceremony. Shots were taken and we were finally ready to make our way to meet the lucky couple!

We arrived at the house just in time to see a Hummer limo make its way down the tightest street in Oxford, definitely would not like to have been in the Driving seat for that! We met the couple and got straight to work. Clips of the newly married couple were shot, already the wedding film was slowly building itself. A beautiful venue, a beautiful couple and a beautiful 30ft hummer limo. Sounds like a great wedding film already!

Time for us all to go to the venue, the limo was filled up with excited kids (a few excited parents) and last but not least – the couple. We arrived at the venue in time to witness the couple arrive themselves. Necessary shots were all taken and it was time for everyone to take a seat. Well, everyone apart from the team. In order to make the best wedding film possible, there is no time to sit down. Guests slowly continued to come through the door to enjoy the festivities and witness the start of a beautiful journey called marriage.

The variety of food was dished out to some very excited and hungry guests, and before we knew it the food was gone! Must have been delicious. The team continued to record the mementos of the day including the lucky couple eating, which I am sure they will be happy to see!

Finally the end of the day came, the couple left to get a well deserved rest after the hectic wedding preparations. Our work was done, everything went perfectly. The shots look amazing, the family were more than happy with the Covered Meida service. What more could we ask for?

As always a blog cannot be complete without a special mention to a few people. First of all Auntie Kulsoom and Sehrish who made this possible for Covered Media.  A mention has to go out to Ahmed Sharabi who helped out with the team throughout the day (and even managed to convince someone he was the manager!) Last but not least Zohaib, Zain and Hassan for a great day’s work.

The same night we managed to create a amazing highlights for you guys and future clients. here it is and we hope you enjoy.

Assad & Saima by Covered Media

Mr and Mrs Juned Abdin will forever live in the memories of Covered Media. This is for quite a special reason – this wedding was the first Covered Media ever had the pleasure of doing both the photography and videography for. For that reason alone we must say a massive thank you for allowing us to be responsible for covering the biggest moment of their life, and they will forever live in the memories of all of Team Covered.

Leading up the to the beautiful wedding, we had about two months to prepare. In this time we prepared as much as we possibly could to ensure that there were no problems whatsoever. Thankfully, with all the preparation and excitement we had leading up to this event – it went as smoothly as it possibly could have.

March 1^st was the date for the Mehndi. We arrived at the bride’s house approximately three hours beforehand – brides like to take their time getting ready! Pre Mehndi photo shoots were taken care of, including videoing of the house. It was clear to see everyone in the house were as excited as they possibly could be. This made the whole wedding so much easier to cover, the fun and excitement we had attending the wedding was enough for us to regard the entire wedding as a success! The hall itself for the Mehndi was small, however with the people in there it didn’t matter how big the hall was. Laughter, food and a blushing bride, what more would you want at a wedding? We ended up taking some of the most beautiful shots of the bride herself as well as the guests thoroughly enjoying themselves. Not to mention a few cheeky kids running about! The end of the day approached and we packed up for one day, ready to attack the remaining two days and give it all we could!

March 4^th was the big one! The venue was the Corn Exchange in Rochester. Again in truly professional manner we arrived at the bride’s house early enough to ensure we had all the shots we possibly needed including a separate photo shoot for the bridal outfit – we had to give it all the credit it deserved! After having arrived at the corn exchange it was clear to see why this venue was chosen. The elegance of the venue was there for all to see. It made the whole day far better knowing that the venue reflected the elegance of the couple themselves. Guests were brilliant, food was delicious and the couple were, nervous! However as the day went on, as the Nikkah ceremonies were completed on both the groom and bride’s side it was clear to see nerves were going! We finally had a married couple, months of stress, organisation and meetings. It all came down to this, through the grace of God. This happy couple were ready to spend the rest of their lives with each other. We are proud to say that Team Covered was there to experience the start of this beautiful journey.

March 7^th, finally they could relax! The Walimah ceremony could not be described in any other way other than, stunning. The royal regency venue in London had the pleasure of hosting this beautiful reception. We could not have been happier with our surroundings; we made sure everything was given a star role in the wedding film, all the way from the perfect couple to the precision taken in setting up the decorations. It was clear to see the couple were far more relaxed, and already looked like a happily married couple! Why wouldn’t they be? After such a perfect three days, it was hard not to stay smiling. Highlights trailer can be found on our website as well as a few sneak peak photos of the whole three days. I’m sure you’ll agree, it was the perfect wedding.

As always Team Covered must extend our upmost gratitude to those who made it possible. First and foremost a massive thank you, to Sister Ayesha who allowed us the privilege of covering the happiest moment of her life. Along with her we must thank her entire family, who worked tirelessly to make sure the wedding was a success and were more than helpful when it came down to helping us with the smallest of details. We cannot forget the fantastic work put in by the crew, Zohaib, Milad, Dan and last but not least Alex. Finally the woman who made this all possible in the first place – Miss Rupsana Ahmed. She was there with us every step of the way, and in return to show how thankful we are, I suppose we can give you a discount on your wedding!

Sunday 5^th February. Birmingham NEC Hilton. Prospective 10,000 people attending. It was finally time for Asiana Bridal show! Two months of preparation and four months of trading came down to this. Covered Media exhibiting at the biggest exhibition for Asian bridal and fashion wear in the world. Anyone who knows anything about Asian weddings and fashion knows that Asiana is the biggest magazine in the business. Therefore the sheer fact that we were even exhibiting in such a huge showcase after only four months was huge for us.

The night before half the team set off for pre show preparation. After a three hour journey we were there! Beautiful hotel, beautiful scenery and of course beautiful models! Stall Q38 was the place where Covered Media were going to exhibit what we can do and we were more than ready. Everything was in place, we were confident, the rest of the team were planning on reaching us the following morning In time for the event. We were ready! Nothing was out of place. That was until the heavens opened and there it was – Snow! Nervous and distraught was an understatement. What if the rest of the team couldn’t make it? What if the people didn’t turn up? So many questions were discussed this in to the early hours and we made the decision, we’ve come so far. Why stop now? The team were determined to make this a success. The following morning the whole team was there Q38 was proud to be exhibiting Covered Media with five of our best team members ready to showcase what we can do.

The weather was unrelenting; people were scheduled to come from all over the country. The snow had its effect on a few of them, but the dedicated ones still attended. They came in their numbers and witnessed a truly mesmerising event, starting from fashion show all the way through to the exhibitors showing what we could do. For the duration of ten hours we talked to a whole range of people, most of them just as nervous as we were, but maybe for different reasons – Weddings were fast approaching! We had set up our mobile studio for the day to make sure we gave those attending a chance to look like the models with their own photo shoots. The day was brilliant, people coming in and out of the studio, prospective weddings being booked for throughout the year. After so much anxiety and trouble, everyone was smiling!

However the best was yet to come, towards the end of the day. After strutting their stuff on the catwalk, it was time for Covered Media to offer the Asiana models the chance to strut that same stuff in front of our camera. Needless to say – they did not need a second invitation! A couple of hours later, a queue of models all satisfied and a whole album worth of portfolio. We were happier than ever. (The guys happier than the girls of course!)

There it was, the end of a long weekend and yet again we closed a successful day. Prospective weddings booked with happy customers, happy families having their photo shoots done and last but not least some of the most beautiful models we could have seen were in the Covered Media portfolio. Needless to say after the worrying and anxiety of the previous day, the day could not have gone much better for us considering the circumstances.

Team Covered saw some of the best Asian exhibitors out there, if anything this was a learning experience for us. We are not afraid to say that at this point we were very new, with little experience. This event was the most useful thing we could have done, the chance to talk to hundreds of people, witnessing companies who had been around for years carry out their work. We knew that is what we need to be doing – as a minimum. We pride ourselves In being different to the rest, our service, our customer relationships and products are second to none. When Covered Media started the bar was set higher, and just like we showed at Asiana – we’re always raising the bar.

And heres a few cheeky CM exclusives with the models

The venue was Raw Spice in Edgware. The only way we could possibly describe this event is elegant. The venue was elegant, the decorations were elegant and most of all the couple were elegant. Everything was set to make this a beautiful event, so the pleasure was entirely on behalf of Covered Media to be invited down and cover those ever lasting memories.

Hanif and Huma led up to the engagement party in a slight worry due to the fact they were unable to find a female photographer to suit their needs. However once having sat down with Covered Media and both having very similar ideas – the photographers were confirmed! Both sides were just as excited for this to happen, and we are happy to say this excitement was reflected in the high quality of the photography.

I arrived at the venue, and the number one thing that hit me was the beautiful ambiance in the venue. The lighting, the music, colours – everything was just perfect for this engagement. I was given some time alone to embrace the venue andtake some photos of the surroundings which of course you will be able to see here! Slowly but surely the guests started filtering in, and you could see on their faces they immediately fell in love with the surroundings. The look of daze was either them falling in love with the set up, or it might have just been them containing their hunger! Nonetheless everyone sat down and were ready for this stunning event.

The night went on, photos were taken, food was eaten and laughter was the theme of the night. A thoroughly enjoyable night, for everyone concerned especially myself. People understand how certain events can drag on and it might not be the most fun atmosphere! However this was one of my most favourite events to cover to this date.

Best of luck to Hanif and Huma as they embark on their journey of wedding preparations, stress and perhaps even a few cheeky arguments along the way!Having seen the couple and seeing the start of their journey and how their love blossomed on the day, we at Covered Media wish them nothing but happy wishes and success for their journey to come. Also a special mention and huge thank you to Naz who helped us with the agreement of the engagement and hopefully we will see you soon for the wedding.

Time for our second event. We had already built a reputation with the organiser of this event, as we had the pleasure of meeting her at the Brent Eid Festival. Therefore we had to work even harder to exceed those previously set expectations. Only by exceeding expectations could we call this day a success. Therefore the team were fully focused and ready to deliver another successful day.

The venue was Leopold Primary School, the date was 11^th December 2011 and the mission was to make sure the kids were left smiling! The venue had already been set, the brilliant teaching staff worked tirelessly to construct a grotto fit for Santa Claus himself! (Or one of the students fathers’ who had the unfortunate task of dressing up!) We were set for a brilliant fun filled day in which the children were given the chance to meet Santa, get their photos taken and even leave with a present. No matter how much we tried, no presents for the Covered Media team!

Throughout the day kids came dragging their parents along and were left smiling along with the newly printed photo of their superstar like smiles! I don’t think anyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did – not even the kids! The continuous laughs and seeing the looks on the children’s’ faces when they saw Santa was brilliant and we loved every minute of the day.

Overall at the end of the day we finally sat down with no kids running through our legs and reflected on what had been a brilliant day. A fun filled successful day was what we strived for, and a fun filled successful day is what we got!

A huge thank you once again to the team consisting of Husnia and Maaz, and of course a huge thank you to the Staff at Leopold Primary School who helped in constructing a truly memorable day for both the children and the Covered Media team.

What do you get when you have one of the most prestigious events on the Asian awards calendar, one of the most beautiful hotels in the country and a host of celebrities? You get a more focused Covered Media team than ever before. This event was huge, with over a thousand people in attendance and a huge expectation on our shoulders to deliver – this event was massive for us.

Westminster Park Plaza hotel was our venue and we were more determined and more ready than ever.  Equipment? Check. Personnel? Check. Looking the best we could in our sharp colour co-ordinated outfits? Of course! We made our way to the hotel nervous yet excited, the nerves especially showed when we were cutting it fine for time and encountered the most confusing roundabout on our way to the roundabout. Nonetheless we found the hotel, got there on time, ran up and down the building to find our allocated spot. The equipment was finally set up and we were ready! Our prized possession, Zee the photographer and Creative Director knew his role, to make sure all the photos were of the highest quality! The sales team were set in the form of the Sales Director – Hassan and his trusty sales assistant Milad. Together their job was to compliment the gentlemen on how slick they are looking and to bring them over for their photo shoot. Also of course they were given the stressful and unenviable work of approaching all the ladies and complimenting them on how they couldn’t leave the awards ceremony without a photo shoot! Something I am sure they had great difficulty in doing. Finally was our ever present Husnia, by now she had mastered the technology and was the fast printer and framer this side of the Atlantic! Together the team worked tirelessly to provide the best possible service, which is exactly what we did!

At an event where the service and custom we provided was pivotal in our success we ensured we built a great relationship with the customers and turned them in to potential future clients. Which of course was one of our main aims for the day. Not to mention enjoying the great event that it was, we were graced by the presence of ITV newsreader Tasmin Lucia-Khan who took time out of her busy presenting schedule to step in to the studio and leave looking as beautiful as ever – in person and in the frame! Of course we must mention the special appearance by Labour party leader Ed Milliband who graced the event with his presence – even though it was for a short 30 minutes. Nonetheless the likely future Prime Minister came through enjoyed the festivities and laughter – as did Team Covered.

Overall, yet again the whole event was a success, not only that but it was our biggest success so far. Excited wasn’t the word! Special thanks goes to the BCA vice president Mr Khandaker and his son Raeed who made it possible for Covered Media team to experience this brilliant occasion. Again a huge thanks to the team, from here it was onwards and upwards.
