Progressive Supper is an annual SCOGUI event involving members of SCOGUI hosting the club at their house for one course of a four course meal. The idea is we end up at four different houses to enjoy some tasty home-cooked food and lovely company!
This year, we started at Jamie and Matt’s house where we enjoyed some delicious spicy/non-spicy/veggie quesadillas, tortilla chips and dip and some flavoured vodka (think skittles, jaffa cakes and starburst!)
For our main course, we moved onto Megan’s amazing (seafood) paella, complete with pinata!
Vicki hosted dessert, which included chocolate covered strawberries, lemon tart, peach cupcakes, chocolate mud cake and raspberry cheesecake brownies.
Finally, we enjoyed cheese, crackers and plenty of port courtesy of James.
It was a fantastic night. A huge thank you to Megan for organising Progressive Supper this year!
On the evening of Saturday 23rd May, 19 beautifully dressed SCOGUI members supper-ed in a progressive fashion – enjoying an expertly cooked course at one of four houses before progressing to the next. The starter, served at Gaz’s house, was a choice between melon and prawn cocktail with much bread available. A short trip down the road took SCOGUI to Megan and Nicole’s house for a very tasty main with choices between beef or vegetable lasagne and lamb moussaka. The group then proceeded on to Lisa’s house for tiramisu cheesecake and ice cream for desert. The suppering part of the evening concluded at Tom and Kate’s house for biscuits and cheese along with a selection of hot drinks. The excellent cheese was provided by Will and family. A fair amount of SCOGUI then proceeded to Loughborough’s both best and worst night club – Echos – where they danced away till the wee hours.
Thanks go to Megan and Nicole for organising the evening, and to those who hosted a course.

This was my first progressive supper so I didn’t really know what to expect but now I can say it was really good fun and I will defiantly be going again next year.
We started the evening at Richer Brewers house where we had French toast with PAte and vegetable soup. We heard of a telephone convocation between Kate and Richard involving PAte and a lot of giggling. There was some discussion over what French toast actually is and if Richard had created it I have absolutely no idea if he had but all I can say is it tasted good. There was also excitement at Richards over and inflatable sofa; as when you sat on it you could raise the person at the other end up in to the air.
The next course was at Em’s house and I left early with Kate and Martin to help Em however due to Kates ‘shortcut’ we ended up arriving only 2min before the others but this was just enough time to grab a seat as the others piled into Em’s lounge. The meal was a pastry roll with tomatoes and onion then either cheese or bacon, which came with potatoes and veg. it was all really nice. The potatoes had been cooked across the road so before they could dish up an expedition to retrieve the potatoes occurred with the aid of oven cloves, Em’s house mates and a large sheet of cardboard.
Pudding was at Edd’s so we didn’t have far to walk to enjoy amazing deserts. First there was strawberry mess which was strawberry’s, cream and meringue then chocolate shortbread and mint custard. Whilst we were enjoying food Richard spilt red wine quickly followed by lots of salt which he had great fun writing words with on the carpet. But before we left he did do a great Freddie Mercury impression with a vacuum cleaner.
We finished the evening off with cheese and biscuits at Andy’s and all huddled round the TV to watch Parkinson, then got bored so some people went the park and the rest of us sat round talking. It was all really good and I can’t wait for next year.
