Heads and tails commenced at 8.55 and James "the not so gay but certainly not going to knock it until he's tried it" Gibson won £4 which he generously donated back to MCC funds.
At 9.35 a game of Spoof was initiated which culminated in the final between Justin and Tony ...and what a final it was! if anyone can remember who won, please post a comment. Next up was an opportunity to guess the combined age of Matt and Lauren and I think the three finalists were Paul, Mel and James with a combined age of 41years and 4 months - fortunately putting them over the legalised age at which you are allowed to participate in curry.
Lauren was the invited to judge a "LOVELY LEGS" competition and although James Gibson's heavily scarred legs were in the running it was Dave P's pins that won the day - it's funny how Dave P is always the one that ends up being the "ladies man" at our dinners!
Having been instructed earlier in the evening to think of a game that our FAMOUS guest TONY (the games inventor) could take and develop, now was the time when we could present our ideas. Dr Richard B's "Wii Fit Blue Asia" raised a titter. Tony then described a game called SHIVER which is like a penguin shaped Jenga - Tony was fined a £1 for being a smart arse! James TGB came up with a great brand name under which to sell this new game "SPAC-ATAK". Tony our famous guest is pictured below.
At 10.55 complimentary drinks and chocolates were generously supplied, with hardly a mention. The beverage "sub-committee" also made sure that Matt and Laren were rewarded with a nice glass of rose for their time and trouble.
The judging commenced shortly after 11.15pm with a reasonable 85.5. Scoring was poor on fiscal prudency. Had Matt and Laren not been there, the score may have been lower!
The presentation was made by the hardly awake Hadow, clearly suffering from an attack by a king cobra! ...or several king cobras!
The evening broke up (quite literally) just before midnight.
WE CURRY NO FAVOUR!

Report by Justin - again!
Report by Justin - again!
The evening was a much anticipated event being at the outer limit of our range and a restaurant with a good local reputation
The party of Mango Chutney Club "irregulars" arrived gathered around 7.30pm, starting with the traditional "we curry no favour" toast.
I have taken the liberty of publishing a picture of our great leader Henry, taken during his "Cool" phase. It also serves as a reminder of what our great chairman looks like when he is wearing a tie! On the engagement in question at the Newick Tandoori, he singularly failed to come with his full regalia - yes, he was tieless!

After popadoms had been loaded with onions, chutney and lime pickle and Cobras had been drunk, Hadow the Great, conducted the grand popadometer test.
Then Henry, praise to his name, developed a new game which was to guess the number closest to the one on Christos' dry cleaning ticket - and I was closest which meant that I ended up writing this review - yet again!
At 8.40 Henry the Wonderous leader read the uncompleted match report from the MCC Christmas extravaganza in Brick Lane written by James the gay builder. We look forward to it's conclusion.
Starters arrived at 8.45 and they went down very well - especially the mixed platters.

At 9pm the main course arrived. Most people happy but Christos had Chicken Tikka Mossala and was not impressed - all will be revealed with the scoring!
It was at this point that Matt and Lauren, who were a very nice young couple out for a quiet curry, became embroiled in the MCC evening! Lauren was desperate not to have her picture taking but fortunately, just as I was taking a picture of the Grand Cobra Taster Hadow's right hand, I caught Lauren in all her glory! (please note absence of Hadow's neck tie).
Lauren was the invited to judge a "LOVELY LEGS" competition and although James Gibson's heavily scarred legs were in the running it was Dave P's pins that won the day - it's funny how Dave P is always the one that ends up being the "ladies man" at our dinners!
