Fund raising events for 2005
Frimley Awareness Weekend
January 17
The 4th Frimley awareness weekend and the biggest success so far as more people become aware of our activities. A lot of literature distributed throughout the weekend and a total of £XX raised.
Guildford Street Collection
May 13
Another good day in Guildford which raised total of £400. Thanks to all our supporters who did a collecting stint and special thanks to John Bowden for sticking to it all day again!
Secrett's Godalming Collection
April/May
Another stalwart collection effort by our intrepid mountaineering GP John Blowers. His solo effort on no less than 6 collecting days raised an amazing amount!
Champagne Quiz
June 18
A suitable finale to John Blowers’ fund raising effort for the Prostate Project this year. His collections at Secrett's, Trek to Kanchenjunga and this quiz night have raised a total of £8000. Well done and many thanks John.
Mann Group Golf Day
June 20
As expected the city high flyers really dug deep again this year at the annual Mann Group golf day. The auction alone raised a stunning £40,000! The money is to be used to fund a blue light laser which will enable surgeons to complete a Trans Urethral Resection (TURP) of the prostate as a day case procedure rather than the conventional 2 or 3 night stay.
Prostate Project Golf Day
September 15
We are expecting another full house at this, our sixth annual golf day at Hindhead Golf Club. Anyone wishing to enter a team should contact Tim Sharp on 07989 865702.
Guildford Choral Society Concert
November 12
Guildford Choral Society/Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra concert at Guildford Cathedral, 7.30pm
Two of Guildford’s premier musical institutions join forces to present a programme of delightful French music. Fauré’s Requiem, inspired by the death of the composer’s mother, is one of the best loved choral works while Poulenc’s Gloria abounds in joy and complements the Fauré perfectly.
Tickets £19, £15 (£3 concessions for children, students, ES40s) from Electric Theatre (01483 444777) or Guildford Choral Society (01483 422901).
Soloists: Mary Nelson (soprano), Gavin Carr (baritone)
Coffin Dodgers Concert
December
Roger Nicklin and his band will be strutting their stuff again for us in December. Always a fun evening. Date yet to be arranged.
