Curry Night Raises a Hot £652 for Hospice



We would like to thank everybody involved in the Curry Night which was held on Friday 22nd October at Kendal Golf Club. Organised by Judi Matthews and her husband Kevin, the evening was a great success, raising £652.00 for St Mary’s Hospice.

The evening was held in the Maze Room which was kindly provided free of charge by the club. Curries were prepared by Israel Bhooshi, a chef who specialises in preparing traditional Southern Indian meals in peoples own homes. Israel wanted to lend his culinary skills for the evening to help raise money for the hospice, as he lost his own sister to breast cancer in Hyderabad, India last year. After the feasting, a disco and karaoke by Tom Powney entertained people late into the night.

Many thanks go out to the Kendal businesses who donated raffle prizes; Bridge Street Restaurant, Deja-vu French Restaurant, Bargain Booze and The Body Shop. Judi would also like to thank all of her friends who donated prizes, organised the quiz and the Irish Bingo, and to her husband Kevin, who worked tirelessly to promote the event and sold over £100 worth of raffle tickets on the night.
