SUMMARY:The 2024 Northwood House Tennis Court Summer Supper (fundraiser)
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is invited to the Northwood House lawns on the evening of Sunday 7th July for great music\, a delicious summer buffet feast and some excellent company as we come together again for our annual fund-raising evening for the Aitken Tennis Courts in  Northwood Park.\nThe Aiken Courts are a popular community asset used by lots of local people. Our mission is to keep the courts as a “free to play” facility\, but as a charity\, we need help with the ongoing costs of maintaining the courts to a high playing standard. \nFollowing the total refurbishment of the courts that was completed in 2020\, the courts have become more popular than ever…so if you play regularly or just want to support the charity with its community-focused aims\, this is your chance to help contribute by coming along and enjoying this special evening. \nJust to clean the courts professionally each spring now costs over £1800 alone\, with ongoing fees like insurance and other maintenance adding up to many hundreds of pounds over the year. \n \nSo join us for a very sociable evening on the Northwood House lawns from 6:30pm to 10.30pm on Sunday 7th July\, with a glass of prosecco or G&T on arrival and a sumptuous summer buffet supper laid on by the  Northwood House volunteer catering team\, winners of the Queens Award For Volunteering and renowned for putting on a great spread of food for the best occasions! \nThe summer buffet will be served from 7.30pm\, so arrive nice and early in readiness. \nThe Lawn Bar itself will be closing early on the afternoon at 6pm  and will re-open at 6.30pm to host this strictly ticket-only exclusive event. \n \nGreat live music will accompany this delicious summer supper which will be brought to you this year by new local band “A Bit on the Side” who’ll be playing a wide range of rocking party cover songs from the 1970’s to the 2000’s\,  with dancing very much encouraged in front of the stage. The band will be supported by a special guest act…the George Michael Way (tribute) who’ll be singing exclusively ahead of the main band. \n \nThe Lawn Bar marquee will be there to use too\, so even if the weather is less than clement you can still enjoy the evening whilst under cover. \nWe will also be doing some fundraising on the evening with a tennis themed raffle and silent auction raffle hosted by G4’s Mike Christie\, with prize donations gratefully received in advance. \nTickets are only £22 each and include a fixed donation of £12 to the court Funds\, with the remainder going to cover food\, entertainment and sundry event costs. \nThis is a great opportunity to donate to the charity’s efforts to keep the courts in the best shape possible and free to play\, while having a great night out with friends. \n \nEveryone is welcome (you definitely dont have to play tennis to come along!)\, with tickets available to purchase online below or by phoning the office on 01983 293642 between 10am and 2pm Mon-Thurs. \nWhen booking tickets online please state for each one the persons buffet-eating preferences so we can cater appropriately: \nGeneral with meat/fish/veg options \nVegetarian only \nVegan only \nDo this by ticking the box in the drop down menu. \nIf you have other dietary requirement (allergies etc)\, please specify on the next drop down box and leave a contact number so we can call you back if required. \nThere is also the option to add an extra donation to assist with the funds in the ticket section below\, with all extra donations being gratefully received. \nYou are welcome to bring your tennis rackets along and have some fun on the adjacent courts during the evening as well. \nPlease note ticket online ticket sales close on Friday 5th July at 12pm in order for orders to be placed for catering. \n
