Curry Night raises over £2000 for the DEC Ukrainian Relief Appeal

On behalf of the Village Hall Committee, I would like to sincerely thank you all for either attending or being supportive of last Saturday’s Curry Night. It proved a lively affair, with many of us meeting other locals for the first time in over two years, due to Covid’ restrictions and concerns. Many even showed their support by wearing the colours of the Ukraine flag.

For those who were unable to attend, the two-course supper featured a delicious homemade red Thai chicken curry, courtesy of Tim Fenner, ably assisted by Tony Saward. Anne Collis provided the table decorations, and Ann Elliott very kindly donated for auction a pottery bowl containing planting by Penny Murray, which made £200. Gordon Owen also drew his 100 Club tickets.

Although the accounts have yet to be audited, the net amount appears to have just topped £2,000. This is a tremendous effort by all concerned, especially as so many had already donated to help the plight of the Ukrainian refugees.

A really big thank you all round!

Martin

Notes:

1. LOST PROPERTY – one attendee left a long beige jacket and a hat in the Hall.  If it is yours, or you think you know the owner, please contact me by email or phone: 01798 869268.
2. PHOTO REQUEST – If anyone took any digital group photographs on the evening which they are prepared to share, we would love to use these on our website. Please contact either me or Rosemary Elliott.

P.S. If you feel you wish to give yet more towards this compelling cause, we shall not be sending off the ‘Sutton & Surrounding Villages’ group donation for a few days, so any small BACS transfers, cash or cheques are still welcome.

For those who are not familiar with my work, I have a classical dance background and have been teaching Classical Pilates from the Body Control Pilates Method for 15 years.
