Curry Night Mark 3

Wow! We have just learned that Saturday night's fun-filled fundraising curry night raised £180. And we all had a ball into the bargain. Lynda and Steve as usual were excellent hosts, offering us the use of their lovely home and Martin and Caroline gave a unique childminding service! 14 of us crowded round the kitchen table and sat down to a feast of 5 different curry dishes, plus all the usual trimmings. Several bottles of wine and beer met with a happy end and the sound of laughter rang through the house until late in the evening. Thank you to everyone who came. You must recommend us to the staff at St Michael's; we are trying to persuade them to let us cook a curry for them too. And thanks of course to the Withers again. And to the Caldew Wanderers for cooking up such a mouthwatering menu!

Thank you to all our sponsors!

Virgin Vie Raises More Cash

Diane’s Virgin Vie party at Church House last night was a huge success. Altogether around £119 was raised for Trailwalker. We had fun sampling some tempting glittery products and nobody could resist the delicious marshmallow fudge and chocolate biscuit cake brought along by Gill (Fantasweets). We also sold the last of the Treasure Map squares and the £50 prize money goes to the owner of square E1 (Liz from Woodstyle).

Thanks to Diane for organising the party and getting us all together again.

 

Coming soon - yet another curry night! Hurray! And a quiz night in Dalston. Watch this space!
