Feast on curry and music to help student fundraiser

Keown Peel is one of a group of students from Stratton Upper School in Biggleswade who will embark on a four-week expedition to Nicaragua and Costa Rica next summer.

While there they will support local community projects alongside exploring the stunning region and watching the exotic wildlife.

The students have to raise the funds for the trip themselves and Keown is staging a special night at Biggles Lounge in Shortmead Street on Monday, June 5.

It features a feast of food – a mixed starter and a choice of main meals – plus music courtesy of Amy Amz who will be performing songs in her show Divas of the Decades.

The night costs just £20 per person.

Of the funds raised, 40 per cent of the money goes direct to their local community projects with the rest to participate in the projects-based trip with Camps International.
