Thursday 6th June
An evening garden party with a drink and canapes
at Little Court, Crawley, Hampshire by kind invitation of Mrs Patricia Elkington.
Set in 3.5 acres this lovely garden opens regularly through the National Garden Scheme. Professor Lotery and Dr Jorn Lakowski (an academic vision science researcher in the University of Southampton and the Elkington Fellow) will be with us, as well as some of the research team. The evening will be relaxed and informal but will provide a great opportunity to chat with us whilst enjoying a chance to enjoy this beautiful garden.

Rotary Romsey Test Way Walk Sunday 29 September 2019
We would love you to sign up to walk for us on the annual Rotary Romsey Test Way Walk. Details are given on their website and please let us know if you sign up by emailing us at info@giftofsight.org.uk so that we can send you a GoS polo shirt to wear. Please remember that JustGiving pages should be set up through Rotary who kindly send us your sponsorship funds, less a percentage which is kept for their own charities and to help with the cost of setting up this fabulous event. We don't have the manpower to organise an event of this magnitude and it's a great walk through some beautiful Hampshire countryside.
Our annual Gift of Sight Carol Concert in Romsey Abbey will be held on Tuesday 17 December 2019.
