Hi All

I said that I would get the name of some Indian musicians who might be
able to provide entertainment at the Curry Night. They are the Singh
Brothers and can be contacted at gunwant@... I have not
contacted them and it may be best to wait until we have agreement on
date and venue.

My feeling is £20 may be a bit steep for some people (£40 for a couple
plus costs of some drinks may be seen as too much) but I may be out of
touch!!
