About us

The Sri Lankan Cultural and Sports Association of South Wales, to give our association's full name, was formed in 1990 when a group of families residing in or near Cardiff, Wales, UK, decided that the small local Sri Lankan community would benefit from having a society with a formal structure, having a constitution, an association bank account, and elected office bearers to organise a regular programme of social, sports and cultural activities. In the early years, we held language classes, played several Cricket games each Summer, celebrated the Sri Lankan New Year, and held an annual dinner-dance. We also organised a Buddhist function and a Hindu function each year. By the mid-90's, our Cricket enthusiasts decided to go their own way and form a Sri Lankan Cricket Club, but they have maintained close links with our association ever since.

We welcome membership enquiries from people of Sri Lankan origin regardless of religious or ethnic background. We also welcome membership enquiries from non-Sri Lankans having a genuine interest in Sri Lanka and the welfare of its people.

Our current office bearers are -

President - Daisy Lowe
Secretary - Siva Sivapalan
Treasurer - Ruth Viner
Editor - Anita Sivapalan
Social Secretary - (vacant)
Committee members - Kusum Tillekeratne, Sivanes Sivapalan, Niluka Eratne (ex-officio)
