Curry Night raises over £1,400 for Haiti charity Anstey folk certainly enjoy their curries! Anstey Nomads hosted a Charity Curry Night in February, organised by Kay of Village News. Kay has contacted Anstey Clarion to let us know that the magnificent total of £1,440 was raised for the Haiti Relief Fund. Kay would like to thank everyone who helped to make the event such a tremendous success. Particular thanks go to Mr. Divyesh Shah of Mattocks Chemists on Fosse Road North, Leicester who donated £100 to the cause. Thanks also to Leicester Bakers of East Park Road, Leicester, Pak Foods of Uppingham Road, Leicester and Leo’s Supermarket of Link Road, Anstey who all donated ingredients.
The ceremony on 23rd February was only the second held to include daughters of Freeman as previously sons only inherited the honour. The sisters and their brother, Phil Plummer took an oath in front of the Lord Mayor of Leicester and their families in the hourlong ceremony. All enjoyed tea & refreshment with the Lord Mayor after the event. The siblings inherited the title from their father Leslie who passed away eleven years ago so was unable to enjoy the momentous family occasion.
