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!
