The Old Nottinghamians' Society Curry Club has its origins in the Class of 1983, who met up again during the School's Quincentenary Celebrations and, prior to a more formal reunion, determined to meet on a regular basis to enjoy the culinary delights of the Indian sub-continent and reminisce upon their greatest of days at the same time. The 1983 Group continues to meet, but, from 2015, extended its reach to Old Nottinghamians of general like mind and is now the Old Nottinghamians' Society Curry Club.
The Curry Club has three objectives: to provide good fellowship between Old Nottinghamians; to revel in and enjoy the cuisine of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh; and never to eat in the same restaurant twice. To this end, it travels the country in search of Old Nottinghamians and delicious curry, meeting, so far, in Nottingham (obviously), London (twice), Birmingham, Sheffield, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, Newcastle, Leeds and Dubai.
It provides an opportunity for Old Nottinghamians living locally and who may not always be able to travel back to Nottingham to gather together with other Old Nottinghamians. Informality is the order of the day and, in London, in particular, Curry Nights are a refreshing and no less enjoyable contrast to the formal Annual Dinner in November. The dress code is casual, speeches are rarely made and are impromptu if they occur, the assembled company always enjoys itself.
