Help for Heroes Curry Night
A very hectic, but well organized Curry Night at Chearsley Tea Rooms took place on Friday May 28th, when more than 60 villagers over 3 sittings enjoyed Jay’s home-cooked curry and side dishes. It was a great deal of fun for all the diners and a total of £1,063 was raised for Help our Heroes. The meals, raffle and donations amounted to £899. Distinctive wristbands have been on sale in the shop over the past month and have raised £164. Jay would like to thank everyone who supported her first fund raising event,making it such a great success, and to those who donated raffle prizes and to her staff who volunteered their time. The Help for Heroes wristbands are still on sale for £2. each.
