Sep 17 @ 8:00 am – 11:00 pm

Summer Soulstice is putting on its first charity Golf Day on Monday 17th September 2018 at The Shire golf course on St Albans Road, just outside Barnet. This event has been set up to help recoup funds raised for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care at this year’s very successful Summer Soulstice festival in June and then stolen in the post-festival burglary.

This is a chance to play on a fantastic Masters course, designed by the late, great Seve Ballesteros. Most of the 100 spaces for players have already been snapped up but if you would like to play, please email Giles (gilespratt10@gmail.com) as soon as possible. Places cost £75 per head; £300 per team.

Please note that Google gives an incorrect post code for The Shire: the correct post code is EN5 4RE.

Sponsor a hole: If you or your business would like to sponsor a hole (£100 each) or donate an auction prize, please email Tina or phone her on 020 8441 7000.

Kate’s Story

“As many of you are aware I have battled cancer and am currently winning! After lots of surgery I have what will hopefully be the last big one coming up next year and want to give something back while I’m fit and able before the big op. Cherry Lodge in Barnet is an independent cancer charity who have supported me since my initial diagnosis and continue to do so.

As a thank you I am raising money for them by completing a Channel Challenge in October which will involve swimming 22 miles over a two week period at my local pool. I hope you are able to support me and this wonderful charity! Many thanks x”
