Sunshine House Summer Fete
(25 July 2026)

Due to the success of our event last year we are holding our second annual charity Summer Fete at The Gate Northwood, on 25th July 2026 from 12 PM.
This event is being held to raise funds for Friends of Sunshine House, a charity dedicated to supporting the Pinn River School. Sunshine House is a specialist education setting for children aged 3-14. The children who are educated at Sunshine House are blind and partially sighted with other needs that include:
* significant and multiple learning difficulties and disabilities
* additional sensory impairments
* communication difficulties
* physical disabilities
* additional medical and healthcare needs, including complex epilepsy and life-limiting conditions
We are inviting local businesses to take part by hosting a stall, which provides a great opportunity to promote your business and sell your products. The cost for a stall is £20, with all proceeds going directly to Friends of Sunshine House.
The fete will feature a variety of attractions, including:
• A DJ and live bands all day 🎸
• A bouncy castle🎪
• A raffle🎟️
• Games🎡
• And more!
If you’re interested in having a stall please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Harefield Bowls
(26 July then 2 August 2026)

We are a mixed bowling club whose aim is to enjoy the game of bowls in a warm, friendly and informal atmosphere.
The Club has weekly organised roll ups, as well as internal competitions, which are strongly supported.
As a mixed club we take part in both the Three Counties and The Chiltern & Thames leagues. In addition to this there is a very full, friendly weekday and weekend fixture list.

Many of our players compete in Bowls England National, Middlesex, Harrow, Hillingdon and many more external competitions.
The social side is also well supported with B.B.Qs, bowls drives and other fun days during the summer season. In winter we arrange indoor matches plus Christmas celebrations, quiz nights, bingo etc.

We currently have around 60 members and we are always looking to welcome new members whether you are a beginner or more experienced.
Don’t think that bowls is just a game for the older generation. Bowls has something to offer to everyone and is a great opportunity to meet new people of all ages. It can be a highly skilful and competitive sport.

Just joining a club can open the doors to county, national and even international competition! Having said that, you may prefer just to take part in the local leagues or even just join as a social, non-bowling member.

Venue: Taylors Meadow, Hill End Rd, Harefield, Uxbridge UB9 6LD
