Up and Coming Events 2010

The Friends and Nonsuch Rotary Club will be holding our next ‘Big Band in the Park’ charity event on Friday evening 4 June 2010, just in time to avoid the start of the World Cup! 

We are delighted that Jay Craig’s Orchestra, which was so warmly received last year, will be playing for us again.  Gates will open at 5.45 pm and picnickers will be entertained from 6.15 – 7.00 pm this year by Richard Stevenson, well-known to the people of Sutton for his virtuoso guitar playing.  The main attraction, Jay Craig, will play from 7.15 until 10.00 pm with one interval.

Lots of local companies are supporting the event again this year despite the tightened economic climate, including our Principal Sponsor, Dean Kirby and his Creative Flooring from North Cheam.  We are also very pleased that both the Sutton and Epsom Guardians have agreed to be our Media Partners for 2010.  Some of Nonsuch Rotary’s share of the proceeds will be donated to the Sutton Guardian’s ‘Operation Butterfly’ appeal to raise money for the new Cancer Information Centre at St Helier’s Hospital.

Please support this important money raiser to help the work of The Friends – and please spread the word to your friends too.

The organisers are delighted that the Sutton Guardian and the Epsom Guardian have just agreed to be our Media Partners for 2010.

More details, including booking forms for downloading and box office information, will be available on the Nonsuch Rotary website from about the beginning of March 2010 – www.nonsuchrotary.org
