The annual curry took place on Saturday 22nd December. A later tim eof year than normal due to the fact that Oli would not be in Sevenoaks at the end of the summer and so it was decided to have it when all the university students were back. Once again though Oli never made it to the curry and so everyone else had all his fines money!
Well anyway, The team started gathering around 6 oclock at sevenoaks Wetherspoons for some cheap alcohol. The alcohol flowed freely along with some Champagne courtesy of James Rawlins, back for Christmas. At nine it was time for the trip to the Ashique. Whilst some walked others took the sensible option and got a taxi but there was a good turn out there. A well arranged meal enabled only £10 a head for some lovely food and the fines money going on drinks. A well received speech was made by Guy Howe to the amusement of all and everyone stood up and said their moment of the season. When all the excitement of the curry house was used up a few made the effort of going to Peter's house to carryon the celebrations. By three all who were leaving had left, leaving only Corin and Stuart to sleep in the sitting room in various positions - quite how stuart could sleep like he did is incredible.
