On Thursday 21st March we’re taking over the entire El Rincon restaurant at Tattenham Corner for a casual supper evening intended to combine relaxed socialising with a bit of low-key fundraising. We have a distinguished author and broadcaster as guest speaker and the restaurant is offering us a fantastic menu.
