The annual Curry Night organised by the Yorkshire region of The Furniture Makers’ Company, has raised over £2,500, with more than 100 guests enjoying a fantastic evening of socialising and award-winning curry.
The popular event, which is now in its seventh year and a key fixture in the charity’s calendar of regional activity, took place on Thursday 2 March at the award-winning Aagrah Midpoint restaurant in Bradford. Before dinner was served, Tony Attard OBE DL, Master of The Furniture Makers’ Company, welcomed the guests to the event. Then Mark Eastwood, MP for Dewsbury and chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Furniture Industry Group, gave a short speech after the main course and spoke about the furnishing industry and his path into politics.
Guests were also kept entertained throughout the evening by magician Carl Royle, who entertained guests between courses with his sleight of hand. The evening concluded with a raffle with the event raising £2,618 for the charity.
The Furniture Makers’ Company would like to thank the following companies that donated raffle prizes: Aagrah, Duvalay, Harrison Spinks, Jay-Be, John Cotton, the National Bed Federation, Panaz, Shire Beds and the Walled Garden.
