The Barnes Charity Ball 2012 will be taking place on Friday 3rd February, starting in Kitson Hall with a reception and then moving into St Mary’s for a candlelit dinner, entertainment and auction. All the 300 tickets were sold within a few days of going on sale in November and we are expecting to raise considerable sums for the Friends of St Mary’s Barnes, Under Tree Schools and other charities. The church will be cleared of furniture on Wednesday evening to allow for the event to be set up during Thursday and Friday. The Langton Chapel will remain intact throughout, including for the Holy Communion service at 12 noon on Thursday. On Saturday the church will be put back to its normal format ready for services on Sunday. On Saturday 4th February, the Coffee Shop will run from 10.00am and will be at the back of the church instead of the Melvill Room. Coffee will be served free thanks to a donation from the Ball Committee. If anyone has any queries about the Ball, please talk to Chessy Smith or Andrew Summers or email ball@stmarybarnes.org
Lunch for Homeless People - Kitson Hall, Sunday 12th February: We are organising a lunch for homeless people and are looking for volunteers to make a beef casserole (recipe provided) or pudding of your choice. We also urgently need volunteers to help on the day
