Whitwick & District U3A - Curry Club

Objective

If you like a tasty treat in convivial company the Curry Club is for you! We meet once a month in a local Indian, Chinese, Thai or Nepalese restaurant. Generally we each order our own choice of main dish but are prepared to share a bit, and as a group we order enough rice, naan and side dishes to go round. Occasionally we just ask the restaurant to give us a selection of food to share and see what happens! We divide the cost plus a tip equally between members to keep matters simple, and generally that's easiest if members bring cash, even in these contactless days. We have some favourite places but sometimes find a new one, and suggestions from members are welcome.

Of course we have to book a table for what can sometimes be a large group, so members can't just turn up on the night. The Group Leader contacts all group members each month and asks to be informed if you are coming by the Thursday immediately preceding the meeting. New members will always be made welcome, just get in touch with the Group Leader and you can be added to the list.

2024

Tue Jan 23rd For this month the plan is to book a table at the White Horse & Noodle Bar in Loughborough, a rather unique Chinese restaurant which we all very much enjoyed last time we visited. Details will be circulated to group memebers in the new year. Anyone wanting to join the group please contact me and we'll make you welcome.

Tue Feb 27th Our meeting will be at The Rickshaw in Ashby, on Tamworth Road. It's a couple of years since we last ate there so time for a return visit. There's a wide-ranging menu of Bangladeshi dishes so something to suit all tastes. Group members will receive the usual email asking for numbers in advance. New members are always welcome but please contact me beforehand so you can be included in the numbers.

Tue Mar 26th For our March meal, a return to Dawaat at Barlestone is planned. Always had good food there so I'm sure we'll enjoy it once more. A reminder that they don't have a licence so it's bring your own alcohol. The date is Tuesday 26 March at 7.00pm. Group members will be contacted in the usual way, any other u3a members wishing to join will be most welcome but please contact me beforehand so we can book the right number of places.
