Social Care Curry Club September Round-Up
by George Julian
Wow, what to say, where to start. Thank you all so much for supporting such great Social Care Curry Club eat-ups last week. We are still buzzing at the enthusiasm, energy, commitment and positive vibes that surrounded our eat-ups across the UK and in Canada.
Ruth, the editor of Community Care pulled together a blog post the morning after the night before and we were delighted that Social Care Curry Club made it to their front page. You can read it here. What follows is a largely pictorial record of our first ever consecutive eat-ups. We would very much welcome your input too so please feel free to add a comment or tweet us your highlights, and of course any learning points, we are keen to keep improving.
First up was Vancouver where Ernie hosted 16 friends and colleagues including
Vancouver’s conversation snapped by host @ejbaatz. Then once our Canadian curriers were tucked up in bed the UK action started to develop:

London however opted for a buffet, seen here in full swing, captured by host @BPotter38
Manchester included a pair of newly-weds Mel and George snapped by co-host @Carey_Bamber along with a crowd of curriers 
The Birmingham contingent appear to have stuck to liquid refreshment!! Snapped by co-host @EddieC10 and in a later post we’ll share the result!
For now we’ll round this post off with some of the feedback tweets, please feel free to add your thoughts to this post too and don’t forget to pop 5 December into your diary now.

Sometimes work and food come together. On the 5th of September, over 200 people interested in social care had curry all over the UK and even in Canada. Cogratulations George and Matt for a wonderfully simple way of getting people together and helping break barriers between social care professions through food. The next date is the 5th of December… It was wonderful to host the Canterbury Social Care Curry with James Lampert last time, now wondering whether to repeat in Canterbury or see if anyone in Barcelona is interested!

Two days ago we received our 100th booking for the December eat-up which is taking place across the country on Thursday 5 December at 7pm.
