The initiative for the lunchtime curry club came from the two groups meeting at a local council networking event.
One member of the veterans club highlighted that they never get invited anywhere. In response, Burgess Hill Rugby Club decided to host and donate the lunch at their clubhouse before the 1st XV match vs Brighton.
Alongside cooking for the group, they raised money for the Royal Legion.
