Sonar Gaon, Wadhurst - Last Night a DJ Saved My Life!

MCC 17th July 2009
As the bolt went back on the front door of the Sonar Gaon at 6pm, Christos was first in and settled in for the duration. Always a man for some “early doors” Popadoms, Christos took his seat.
With the MCC Sunshine Bus without a driver, a motly crew of waistcoat clad officianados descended on Wadhurst, the first wave ready to apply their knowledge and accrued thirst to a rather under prepared restaurant, expecting 12 midgets instead of 14 consenting adults.
The second wave was headed by the chairman of the MCC, who questioned the seating arrangement before him. Not the table set for 10, when booked for 18, but the huddle of testosterone sitting so closely to the “gay builder”, when the other half of the table was empty. I can only presume he was telling the story of his lost virginity and was not keen to air the gory details with other diners!
It was wasn’t long before the 14 Members were squeezed in (not into James, I hasten to add), but wedged in like 12 Cobras in a shoulder bag!
A quiet word into the Maitre D’s ear and the MCC were on the move, into the bowels of the restaurant. The restaurant could well be described as Anne Hathaway meets the Taj Mahal (thanks to Dr R for that one).
A certain highlight was the appearance of our first celebrity guest in the form of Radio DJ Nigel Ansell, the anchorman of Sovereign FM and Arrow FM. He definitely added to the occasion which I thought summed up the whole meaning of the MCC with a lively and entertaining evening from beginning to end.
Again, for the second month in a row the game of Stoolf was not won ,so all monies went into the Christmas Fund, which now stands circa £120.
The challenge bestowed upon our members for July was to come up with a Curry based chart topper and it was surprising how many of the same songs came up. “Popadom Preach” by Madonna,” Ring of Fire” by Jonny Cash and Korma Camillion by Curry Club. A good effort all round, but special thanks must go to Justin for producing the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody (Curry Version).
From this point on, the evening gathered pace and blurriness.
Thanks to all who attended, a great night and the Sonar Gaon goes straight into the top three.

Enjoy your Summer break. Back to action first Friday in September.
