Dear all,

I hope that you are all well. At last a day of warm temperatures and sunshine. Perhaps Spring has finally arrived. Belinda’s recent message about the various events coming up, including the Southampton curry, has prompted to also send out my personal reminder to you as regulars, as I usually do about this time ahead of the event.

Thank you to all those of you who have confirmed you will attend, and have paid, which has been great. A list of confirmed attendees is below. To those of you who have yet to respond, but are still considering, may I, as usual about this time ahead of the event, just remind you of the details, for ease of reference:

The buffet curry lunch will take place at the Everest Cuisine, No 1 Queensway, Southampton SO14 3AQ on Thursday 23rd April. It will be served between 1200 and 1500.

The restaurant is an easy walk from Southampton station with some on street parking and multi-story car parks nearby . The website for the restaurant is: Everest Cuisine – Traditional Indian & Nepalese Food. Please note the restaurant now has a stair lift.
