Not The Dinner Day 2011
Once again we went down to South Croydon for a curry. Unlike two years ago we were blessed with a lack of snow, and in fact almost spring like weather during the day. There were five peal attempts during the day and all were scored. In the afternoon there was some general ringing at South Croydon which was run by the Senior Steward.
There was time for a quick drink or two in the pre dinner pub before heading to Fushia for our meal. The food was plentiful and quite delicious, and the owners were quite felxible with one peal band who arrived a bit later than everyone else. Our thanks must go to Shirley McGill for finding the venue and organising the second part of the day.
