113. The Big Curry Lunch – the results

One of the popular events during the year is the Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Lunch, which supports the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF: The Soldiers Charity). Earlier this year, two Wardens attended the Lunch and we held a collection after our Election Court Luncheon to allow them to take something with them.

On 8 June there was a reception to announce that over £217,000 had been raised this year - a record. The Lunch Chairman, Michael Hockney, thanked the Lord Mayor for the City’s efforts. In its publicity, the ABF have this splendid illustration from 2015, worth recording because it features the (present) Deputy Master and the Master Elect, alas, on the Billy no-mates table.
