House of Commons Tea Party - July 2006 About 120 Samaritans and Friends gathered in the splendidly appointed Members' Dining Room and enjoyed an excellent tea overlooking the Thames, hosted by Guildford's MP Anne Milton. The event was not a big fundraiser but gained us two more Covenanters and was a fitting way for Guildford Branch to mark the introduction of 24/7 as the National Fundraising Day. Challenge Sri Lanka Trek - 6-16 November 2004
Golf Day - 12 May 2003 Bramley Golf Club was the venue for our golf day during the summer of 2003. We raised nearly £3,000 from the day's activities, which included a post-match dinner and auction. The Red Hot Ball - 2 November 2002
Shamley Green Cricket Match - 12 August 2001

A group of 9 keen trekkers ventured to the beautiful island of Sri Lanka to take part in a 10 day trek. The trek covered 85km through jungle clearings, rainforest, tea plantations and infrequently travelled paths, fortunately avoiding snakes but encountering many leeches! The end of the trek was marked by a raft trip to the final destination, Ranwelli, followed by a gala dinner. The trek raised £15,000 for the Guildford Branch.
The Red Hot Ball held at Loseley Park was a great night out, with nearly 200 attendees enjoying dinner and dancing until 2am. Anthea Turner launched the evening with a pre-dinner speech and the whole event, including the auction and raffle, raised nearly £11,000 for the Guildford Branch.
We held a Cricket Match in Shamley Green, Surrey, featuring a number of International Stars, Dean Jones, Max Walker, Ian Healy, Allan Lamb and John Emburey, who with others played against the village side. Over 2,500 people attended and the day, together with the associated auction dinner, raffle etc. netted over £10,000 for the Guildford Branch.
