Charnwood Ladies Evening and Cameroon

On Wednesday 5th October 2011 the Charnwood Branch of Cancer Research held their 4th Ladies Evening at the Village Hall in Woodhouse Eaves. This event was to raise funds for the continued research into the treatment and causes of cancer.

Ladies from all around the area, including Birstall, Rothley and Mountsorrel joined together in an evening that provided free demonstrations of reflexology, and advice on beauty and fitness. Our fashion show this year was the autumn selection from the Green House Collection. There were a wide range of stalls including pickles and jams, birthday and Christmas cards, gifts, cup cakes, cosmetics, fashions accessories and jewellery.

This year we were joined by Joy Bark, who with her husband David, are the founders of the Bark Foundation. This was formed in 2008 to support the HOTPEC Orphanage, Buea, Cameroon. Joy is an expert on reconstructing broken and unwanted jewellery, and the large variety of items she had for sale proved to be one of the highlights of the evening. We were delighted that our two charities were able to give support to each other and hope we have the opportunity to be able to join together for future events.

Once again we would like to say a big “thank you” to all who supported our Ladies Evening. This year we were pleased to see many of our regular supporters and also a great number of new faces. The evening raised over £530.00.
