Ex-serviceman hosted a charity curry dinner at The Everest Inn, Castlegate, Newark to fundraise for Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome and Newark Services Club

An ex-service man raised £850 over a curry charity dinner for two charities.

Bob MacRae-Clifton split the money equally for Newark Services Club and Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome.

The dinner took place at The Everest Inn, on Castlegate, Newark.

Newark Services Club is a new charity that took over the former RAFA building and includes the Armed Services, NHS, police, fire, ambulance and prison services.

Bob decided to fundraise for Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome as his son-in-law Wesley’s brother has the condition.

Wesley will be climbing Kilimanjaro in March next year to raise funds for the charity.

“Fundraising is hard in today's climate, but is made easier with the generous people that gave at these events,” said Bob.

He added: "Thank you to Swapnil Shakya & Basant Rawal and their team, as ever impeccable presentation and attentively served.”

On December 2, there will be a Night at the Newark Services Club to help Wesley raise more for his Kilimanjaro walk.
