Southampton Curry Night

We are hosting another Curry Nite - hooray!

This time it is to raise money to take out on a mission trip to Sri-Lanka. A group of us are going on in July 2007 to work with the Young hope children and help in any way we can. We plan to take food out to them, run some fun sessions for the children, take up sports equipment, help in practical ways such as painting and more!

This curry nite will be slightly different. The Nemaste Kerala restaurant are providing a buffet for us - it is still very authentic as it is a South Indian restaurant and I can vouch the food is fantastic! We have a choice of 3 starters, then 2 meat curries and 2 vegetable curries with rice and naan bread. Drinks can be purchased from the bar. As we are not cooking ourselves the cost has increased, but don't forget that this is a charity event all profits go straight to Sri-Lanka. Please invite all friends, colleagues, neighbours etc... It is sure to be a fantastic evening.

Ticket prices are £17.50 a head.
Date Sunday 11th Feb 7.30pm
Venue - Namaste Kerala, Civic Centre Road, Southampton (above STA travel).
