There will be soloists from Covent Garden Opera House singing between courses.
Your tickets will include:

- Soloists from Covent Garden Opera House singing vignettes of well-loved musical pieces between courses
There will also be an auction with wonderful prizes and a Table Raffle.
Tickets will be £85.00 per person and we have tables of ten available. If you would like to join us for this very special evening, please send a cheque made payable to ‘Chilterns MS Centre’ and mark it for the attention of the Fundraising Manager by Wednesday 13th August.

London Marathon
We are really grateful to Lester Keates, Sean Willis and Kerry Moore for taking part in the London Marathon this year. Accumulatively they have raised £2,760 and money is still coming in.
Art Exhibition and Sale - An Artistic Triumph!
A third very successful art exhibition and sale was again organised by Dagny - one of our Senior Physiotherapists between 7th- 9th March. Fifty artists had their works on display in the transformed therapy Centre, of which, seventeen were new artists this year. Dagny exclaimed 'there was a huge variety of subject matter and price and it was a very joyous occasion and one of those fundraising occasions when everyone is a winner'.
This year the event commenced with a preview evening hosted by Jenny Hopkirk, Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire and one of Chilterns MS Centre's Patrons. The evening was also attended by another Patron - The Earl of Buckinghamshire, as well as 200 guests.
So far £7,500 net has been raised but monies are still coming in and there is still some art at the Centre to be bought. All the staff, patients and Trustees really gave their all and worked very hard to make it all happen. A special mention must go to Judith Idris-Evans and Anne Prendergast (a retired CMSC Physiotherapist) for raising a fabulous £825 on the tea and cake stall and also to all the cake makers for providing so many delicious offerings.
A great team effort - thank you to all!
