Fine Dining Evening... Italian Night with Opera Singer Yuri Sabatini... Pimm's Afternoon in the Garden... Court Manager Steve and Chef John...  Ruth Bradbury celebrated her 105th Birthday on 29th October. Ruth has lived at Cavendish since December 2016 and is still a very independent lady, receiving no outside help, other than from her son Kevin. Lots of Cavendish owners came along to help Ruth celebrate. Recent events in March and April have included two bingo afternoons, two film nights, St. Patrick's Day and St. George's Day lunches, a Mother's Day lunch and an Easter Sunday lunch.
The Social Group have also been busy with a fish and chip supper, an afternoon of music with Carla and Tim, two afternoon tea parties and a midweek coffee morning in aid of Arthur Rank. Ruth Bradbury at 104 is still going strong! Up and coming events include a Coronation Sunday lunch and a Red Cross Caring Cuppa Tea in the Garden. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! Recent events in December and January have included two carol services, two Christmas lunches, a Boxing Day Brunch and a great New Year's Eve complete with a Casino night.
We also celebrated the centenary of our second oldest resident Ruth Bradbury. Beryl Webber is still winning at 101 ! Up and coming events include a visit from the 1st Cambourne Scouts. Cavendish Court's successful Christmas raffle raised a fantastic £895 for Help the Heroes.
Burns night, complete with Haggis stabbing, a piper and a wee dram raised £80 for the Winter Comfort Homeless charity. The Christmas Hand Bell Ringing concert, organised by the Social group also went down well. Pre Christmas lunch, Christmas Day lunch and Boxing Day brunch were all well attended and thoroughly enjoyed, as was the New Years Eve Buffet and Race night. We now have a waiting list, but apartments are coming on the market on a regular basis so keep in touch. New owners have been welcomed in April, May , June and July with 3 more arrivals due in August.
Recent events this summer have included two charity garden parties for Marie Curie and Breast Cancer Care and one organised by the Social Group.

Another high point was the great St. George’s Day Sunday afternoon with Jack Clarke, a brilliant jazz singer who recently qualified for the second round of Britain’s Got Talent! We also raised several hundred pounds for Jimmy’s Night Shelter from the St. George’s Day Raffle. It’s all go!
