What’s On GRAHAM CHILD CHRISTMAS CAROLS The Graham Child Christmas Carols has been going for ten years. Although the idea for the Carols Evening was the brain child of my husband, Graham, in 2006 as a fundraiser for the Mary Preston Holiday, after Graham’s death the evening was renamed in his memory. So we are delighted that it is continuing this Christmas. The Mary Preston Holiday has, sadly, ceased. It ran for more than 60 years, a project supported by the Inner Wheel Clubs in District 14 (south West London, north East Surrey and a bit of Hampshire). The holiday was for carers, or people in need of or deserving a break, often someone recently bereaved, but times change and the way society works these days is very different from the 1950’s. Reluctantly, but sensibly, the Mary Preston Holiday Committee has decided to bring it to an end. So this year the Graham Child Christmas Carols is being organised by Kingston upon Thames Inner Wheel Club and will raise money for their President’s charity which is SMILE UK.. All are welcome on Wednesday, the 4th December, 7.45 p.m. at New Malden Methodist Church, in the High Street; tickets are £6 per person to include interval refreshments of tea/coffee and mince pies. It is always a good evening; some music, some dancing, some carol singing, and a wonderful start to the countdown to Christmas. Come and enjoy, and support a very worthwhile cause. Tickets: from Lynda Rowland ~ lynrow9761@ btopenworld.com or me, Bobby Child ~ 07946 532 846 infor@operationsmile.org.uk www.innerwheel.co.uk
