Charan Gill's £6000 Bar Bill Buying everyone in the bar a drink may be a traditional way for someone with a reason to celebrate to indulge their sense of goodwill towards their fellow man, but, on occasion, the celebrant can get carried away by the generosity of spirit and wind up nursing a hangover - and a hefty bar bill. So it was with Charan Gill, MBE, the former Curry King, who has just bought the popular Quayside Restaurant & Leisure Centre at Fisherrow Harbour, Musselburgh, and decided to celebrate his new ownership by buying all the centre's members a drink in the bar.   But not only did Charan forget just how many members the leisure centre had - 1200 and rising - but his generosity got the better of him and, instead of buying members a free drink, he rather rashly escalated his offer to a bottle of wine each. Said Charan, "I wanted all the centre's members to join in the celebrations of the start of a new era for the facility, but I must admit that I hadn't planned on being handed a £6000 bar bill! Nevertheless, every penny of that bill is worth it if it lets our members know just how much I appreciate their continued support for the leisure centre." Indeed, Charan is already planning other incentives to show his appreciation for the loyalty members have shown to the club. "We're about to launch new menus for our restaurants," he said, "and diners can rest assured that, despite being hit with a £6000 bar bill, I intend to introduce various discounts and special offers to our many regular customers. After all, it's our members and customers who have made the Quayside the success that it is - so it's only right that they should share in that success." Formerly owned by the Fisherrow and Musselburgh Co-operative Society, Charan Gill bought the Quayside for an undisclosed seven figure sum last month, safeguarding its future for the local community, together with its 40 jobs. Recently extended facilities already include a 20m leisure pool, spa, steam room, sauna, crèche, treatment room, fully equipped air conditioned gym and exercise studio. And with three function suites, 'The Quayside' offers excellent facilities for conferences, seminars, training events and meetings for groups up to 200 people.
