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.
