2011 venues could be open to 'product placement'
It has been brought to some people's attention that comments have been made about how to ensure that a restaurant can be included in a future grand tour of the MCC. The MCC (a totally for profit organisation) is always open to suggestions from restaurants as to possible venues. Of course, we would recommend that any suggestions are accompanied by the percentage discount for the final bill (current percentage to beat is 25%) and how many free cobras will be on offer.
If there are any companies that are willing to have 'product placement' at future events need to contact our chairman at chairman.henry.plantman@mangochutneyclub.com Alternatively please contact james.sherrydrinker.shirtlifter@gibsondemolitionworks.com

Sonar Gaon - good but uneventful!
Restaurant: Sonar Gaon Indian Restaurant High St, Wadhurst, East Sussex TN5 6AQ
At this point in my notes I have something about a "problem in Vancouver and no show"
but it could be something about a problem with a van and snow!
At 9.27 the main courses were cleared away and general banter ensued. Del enquired as to the size of Geoffs toolbox and James was heard to tell Simon that Darren had "banged one out " in his Rose wine.
At 10pm a game of win or lose which was the £1 to rupee ratio. I think i won against Ross and if I did I would have given the winning to MCC funds!
At 10.15 the Judging commenced and there were some complimentary drinks and chocolates forthcoming. The score is recorded by the Heathfield Pythagorian - Hadow.
Tel: 01892 782284
Date: 12.02.2010
Report by Justin, vice curry marshall.
The evening was much anticipated - a return to the restaurant that last year was famous for it's "last night a DJ saved my life" event. Also known as the restaurant that sounds like a Radar station.
The party was a small party being only 11 members. We were seated by 7.40 and started with the "we curry no favour" loyal toast
Cobras and popadoms were ordered and the fun began. It should be pointed out at this point that Simon ordered a bottle of Rose wine. Yes this was Simon, not James "the gay builder".
At 8pm our orders were taken.
Henry the Great invented a new game and we all had to guess the last three digits on his £10 note, Justin was the closest and donated the £2 winnings back to the MCC funds. At 8.10 we were all given numbers and the waiter guessed number seven which was my number which is why I ended up writing this report again!
Starters arrived at 8.27 - very quick but possibly down to small numbers. Over starters Hadow spent the entire time desperately trying to sell Jerry Taylor a plant - should there be a no business to be discussed at this social event?
The first game of spoof commenced at 8.45pm and after some very "stiff" competition Del won. At 9.03 the main courses arrived and we tucked in. Generally I think dishes were considered to be OK but not oustanding.

But more importantly! - who is the member CLEARLY coming out of the (water) closet which has LADIES on the door? name and shame!
At 10.15 the Judging commenced and there were some complimentary drinks and chocolates forthcoming. The score is recorded by the Heathfield Pythagorian - Hadow. And who can believe that a nice girl from a hen party from Crowborough who were sharing the restaurant was caught on the MCC's security camera coming out of the loo without the ladies name on it! She does look a little shocked!
The bill was £37 per head. We had all left by 11pm
A jolly evening had by all

What made the builder gay!
James is now extremely happy to be the designated builder for MCC events. Although the snow did inhibit the size of his tool, he was still able to give it a good bang at the Curry Inn. From now onwards he will be plugging holes with great happiness at all future venues. Whenever he does this he will have a gay disposition!
To add to his monopoly on the building front, he is also trying to take over the reins from our dear doctor friend and become the First Aider for all future events. Let's hope that no-one needs the kiss of life!!!

Curry Inn Revisited
It was an excellent turn out considering the extreme weather with everyone arriving by 7.45.
There was also another first - a lady visitor – the young Sue Maguire.
We were given a very warm welcome and we didn’t have to wait long for the Cobras to come out, a nice bottle of chilled white for the lady and not forgetting Strongbow for cider slob Simon.
Then came the poppadoms with a selection of dips which scored very highly on the poppadom scale.
We didn’t have to wait long for our order to be taken but at the same time we didn’t feel rushed.
Our curries were hot and tasty apart from Ross’ which he wasn’t overkeen on.
Overall, the meal and atmosphere were very good throughout and the service extremely friendly.
Most of us ordered deserts and Sue seemed to enjoy my banana fritter a bit too much I think…
Complimentary drinks were offered by staff and taken up by all, and very nice they were too.
The evening wasn’t spoilt by the bill either as that was extremely reasonable for the amount of food (and Cobras) had by everyone.
