The Cherry Lodge Cancer Care annual ‘Lights of Love’ ceremony offers an opportunity for people to come together to remember a loved one, to mark a special occasion, as a token of love, or simply to enjoy the company of others.
Before the event, people are invited to make a donation to Cherry Lodge Cancer Care to sponsor a symbolic light on the bandstand at The Spires Shopping Centre in Barnet. Everyone on the Cherry Lodge mailing list should have received a donation form along with their Autumn Newsletter. If you haven’t received a form, please contact Tina on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.
On receipt of your donation, Cherry Lodge will send you a dedication card for each person you named plus an invitation to attend the lighting ceremony.
This year’s event will be held on Sunday 9th December 2018, starting at 4.30pm. The lights on the bandstand will be switched on, the Cherry Lodge Singers will be singing, readings will be given, names of people to be remembered will be read out, and there will be plenty of time to enjoy refreshments and chat with old and new friends.
The bandstand will be illuminated every day until January.

Dawn Ledgard will be holding her next Clothes Sale at Hadley Wood on Wednesday 10th April 2019. Make a note of the date and come along to the Hadley Wood Association Centre to refresh your wardrobe for the new season.
Dawn’s twice-yearly sales offer ladies of all ages, shapes and sizes a very good value opportunity to buy from an extensive range of beautiful designer clothing, jewellery and accessories. Labels include Foil, Monari, Zele, Signature, Brandtex and Ciso, with jewellery from Dante. All items are on sale at well below High Street prices and there are attractive special offers on multiple purchases. There is also a sale rail with bargains at up to 70% off.
As usual, the sale will be held at the Hadley Wood Association Centre (behind the Tennis Club). The venue is about 5 minutes from Hadley Wood station on foot. If you come by car, it is just 5 minutes from junction 24 on the M25 and there is free parking next to the tennis courts. Why not bring a friend and enjoy a coffee while you browse? As past customers know, 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 Cancer Care to help fund our valuable services for people affected by cancer.
