Curry Night

The Curry Night in aid of The Leprosy Mission was a sell-out and much enjoyed by all who attended. A profit of £575 was made and will be sent to TLM; this includes generous donations from those who were unable to be present.

Many thanks to all who contributed in any way and most of all to Pushpa and the Panesar family who made the curry and were so supportive of the event.

A THANK YOU
