Events Programme

Some of you will already be familiar with the popular Coffee Mornings held on Saturdays at Barnet’s Wesley Hall in Stapylton Road. During January 2016 there is once again a particularly good reason for Cherry Lodge supporters to pop in and enjoy the refreshments and hospitality because all proceeds will be donated to support our much needed services.

Coffee Mornings – with proceeds in aid of Cherry Lodge Cancer Care – are being held each Saturday in January, from 10 am until 12 noon.

Please do come along to St James Church in New Barnet on Saturday 6th February 2016, from 11 am to 2 pm, to  restock your linen cupboard while raising funds for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care.

On sale on the day will be an amazing quantity of Egyptian linens – sheets, duvet covers, towels, etc – which have all been very generously donated to us for fundraising purposes.

Come along for a fun quiz evening in aid of Cherry Lodge Cancer Care. Our Winter Quiz will be held on Saturday 27th February 2016 at St Mary Immaculate and St Peter’s Church Hall, Somerset Road, New Barnet, Herts, EN5 1RF. Doors open at 7 pm for a 7.30 pm start.

Tickets must be bought in advance and cost £13.50. The maximum permitted number of people per table is eight. A fish and chips or vegetarian supper is included in the ticket price. There will also be a licensed cash bar (no bring your own) and a raffle on the night.

For information and tickets, please contact Tina on 020 8441 7000 or email Tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk. Tickets are also available from our Barnet charity shop at 1a Church Passage, High Barnet, EN5 4QS.

Have some fun and help raise funds for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care by taking part in our Easter Egg Raffle. As in previous years, the prize is a beautiful chocolate egg from The Chocolate Shop at Cockfosters, again very kindly donated by Rose.

Raffle tickets, at £1 each, are now on sale in Reception. The raffle will be drawn at our Members’ Drop-In on Tuesday 15th March 2016 (ahead of the building work due to start at our centre, Howard House, the following week). All proceeds from the raffle will go to Cherry Lodge.

Have some fun with your kids at the Easter Fun Day being put on by Girlies Raising Hope in aid of Cherry Lodge Cancer Care.

The event will take place from 12 until 3pm on Saturday 26th March 2016 at St Mark’s Church Hall, Barnet, EN5 5HY.

Activities will include an Easter Egg Hunt, Live Animal Petting, Sand Art and Games. The Stalls will include a Nail Bar and Tattooing (temporary!), plus a good of range of different food options.

This event is being held in memory of Elena – a much loved relative and friend of the organisers – who passed away from cancer at the young age of twenty.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about a selection of good wines, to enjoy good company in pleasant surroundings, and to raise funds to help Cherry Lodge Cancer Care provide much needed information and support services to local people affected by cancer.

This wine tasting fundraiser – to be held on the evening of Thursday 31st March 2016 at Enfield Golf Club – is being put on by Passion4Wine, whose founder, Clive Woodhouse, will be presenting eight different wines and sharing a wealth of information about some popular and some less well-known grape varieties and wine-producing regions.

Tickets, which cost £20 per head, can be booked by calling Kieran on 07761785890.

Enjoy the countdown to Soulstice 10 with another round of Brews and Soul at the Black Horse Tavern in Wood Street. ‘April Brews’, on Saturday 2nd April 2016, from 7.30pm until 1am, is sure to be another great night of liquid treats and soulful beats – with Soulstice residents Double-J & Jester Groove plus special guest DJ J.P (Southport Weekender/Hertford House).

Advance online April Brews tickets – £6 each including P&P – are available via the Summer Soulstice website.

Tickets for ‘Summer Soulstice 10’ – including some Early Bird tickets – are also available from the Summer Soulstice website. This event, celebrating a decade of Soul Family Fun – remembering Andy Weekes and raising money for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care – will be on 25th June 2016.

To liven up your wardrobe and look good in spring and summer 2016 you are invited to come along to the Dawn Ledgard Spring 2016 Clothes Sale. These popular seasonal sales offer a very good value opportunity to buy from an extensive range of beautiful designer clothing, jewellery and accessories. Why not bring a friend and enjoy a coffee while you browse?

As usual, the Spring sale will be held at the Hadley Wood Association Centre (behind the Tennis Club). As past customers have found, buying here is much more convenient and less stressful than a trip into the West End. It is also much more enjoyable and reliable than buying online!

Donations of £1 at the door, plus commission on sales, will be given to Cherry Lodge to help fund our valuable services for people affected by cancer.

After his very successful Wine Tasting Fundraiser for Cherry Lodge at the end of March, Kieran Storey has now organised a further event to raise money to help us provide our much needed information and support services for local people affected by cancer.

This follow-on event – a Quiz Night – will be held at Sainsbury’s in Crown Road, Enfield on Sunday 10th April 2016, starting at 7pm. Everyone is welcome to take part, in teams of 6 to 8 people. Entry is £5 per person. You are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks. There will also be raffle tickets on sale.

For more information, please call Kieran on 07761785890.

Please help Kieran to support Cherry Lodge Cancer Care by getting some friends together and going along to the Quiz. You can also show your support by visiting his JustGiving page and sponsoring him in this year’s Virgin London Marathon, to be held on 24th April.

Grab your friends and come along to Arkley Village Hall on Saturday 23rd April 2016 for an evening of fun and dancing. Proceeds are in aid of Cherry Lodge Cancer Care, so as well as having a great time you will be helping raise funds for Cherry Lodge’s much needed information and support services.

Tickets cost £15 each and include a Ploughman’s. There will be a licensed cash bar and a raffle on the night. The dress code is Western smart casual.

For tickets or more information, please contact Tina on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.

The 2016 Virgin London Marathon will take place on the streets of London on Sunday 24th April. This iconic marathon is a major event on the international sporting calendar and is also an important fundraising opportunity for charities like Cherry Lodge Cancer Care.

This year Cherry Lodge has a team of five runners, who are all currently training hard to run for us. (Two other people have sadly had to withdraw due to injury.) The physical effort required to take part in this event is enormous – and the least the rest of us can do is to sponsor our runners and so show our support for them and for Cherry Lodge!

To sponsor a runner whose name appears in blue in the list below, click on the name to access that runner’s online fundraising page. Otherwise, contact our runners directly, or, for more information about any of the people who will be running for us, please call Tina or Nisha on 020 8441 7000 or e-mail tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk. 

Running in this year’s Virgin London Marathon to raise funds for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care  will be:

Lorna Dudding

Karen Graves

Kieran Storey

Daniel Tate

Paul Woodward

Our runners would definitely appreciate your support on the day. Why not add Marathon to your diary for 24th April and make plans to go and cheer our team on? More information about the race, including general advice for spectators, can be found on the Virgin London Marathon website.
