On Wednesday 1 May, the CMF held a fundraising dinner at Bundu Khan Restaurant on Commercial Street. This was attended by over 120 people who came to support the CMF, sample the excellent cuisine, and hear from speakers who included:
Lord Sheikh – CMF Chairman
Syed Kamall – MEP for London
Bob Neill – MP for Bromley and Chislehurst
A particular highlight of the evening was the musical entertainment which encouraged men young and old to take part in the traditional Asian dancing. To spare their blushes, no photographs of that are being published here!
Syed Kamall took the opportunity to present certificates to the team that had won the quiz on knowledge of the European Union during the recent CMF trip to the European Parliament.

The team also included Executive member Fuad Hamzeh who was not in this particular picture, but received his certificate separately during the dinner.
