Team News
Our guest this month was Elango, an ex-colleague of Robin and Alex from way back (pre-NatWest).

I didn't get a chance to talk much to Elango but he was kind enough to help me carry the drinks from the bar to the pavement at the pub beforehand. (This was after I was forced to get a round in having arrived late and stressed at the pub. Not that I'm bitter ...)
Top of the Flocks!
Here are the current leaders - the top 6 at the end of the year to be re-visited next year. (Go to the Overall Rankings to see the full table.)

About The Club The Joy of Curry Black Country Curry Our 100th Outing Wags Curry
Originally known as the GRD Curry Club, the name was changed to The CurryMarks Club in 2004. Click here to read a short history of the Club. Did you see us on "The Joy of Curry" on BBC2? Click here to read all about it and see some photos from the night we were filmed. Venturing away from our City of London roots, we travelled to the Black Country to sample the delights of the 'traditional' Balti. Click here to read about our weekend away and see some photos. To celebrate reaching our century, we decided to go ‘up West’. Click here to read a short summary of the last 8 1/2 years and see some photos of our evening out. Fed up with being 'curry widows', some of the Wags decided to try it for themselves. Click here to read about their visit to Mehek.
