Not only is this an opportunity to enjoy excellent Italian cuisine, it is also a further opportunity to mingle with friends and chat not just about politics but about life in general!

And there will be a quiz (usually on an Italian theme so do some homework!) and of course a raffle.

The evening is on Saturday the 24th of January at the home of Adrian & Gill Bonner - 36 Willis Avenue SM2 5HS. (Huge thanks again to them and colleagues from both Sutton Central and Sutton North wards in enabling this event to be such an integral part of our calendar.)

At £30 a head this is truly a great offer.
