GREEK EVENING

What an exotic evening we had on Wednesday 12 October 2011.

Admittedly we did not smash any

plates (at least on purpose) but we

did have bouzouki music playing

in the background and our dinner

could have been served anywhere

from Crete to Santorini to Athens.

We started with Aubergine and

guests who vouched for the

authenticity of the menu. The

evening raised more than £300 for

the Association.

It is hoped that the Association’s

next dining event at the 3Czons

Restaurant will be in March 2012.

when it is again likely to be a

French dinner.
