LONDON MARATHON 2008
Sponsorship of local businessman Wayne Turpin

We were proud to have sponsored local businessman Wayne Turpin (from Graham & Co Estate Agents), who ran the London Marathon this year, to raise money for Naomi House Children's Hospice.

Undertaking the challenge of a lifetime, Wayne got off to a good start. For the first 18 miles, he was on target to finish in 4 hours, rain hindered the race on a couple of occasions, however not even the weather or the blisters could stop him and he managed to complete the course in an incredible 4 hours 45 minutes. He was very pleased with his achievement, however was generally overwhelmed by how emotional the whole experience was.

Congratulations Wayne on your personal achievement and we are sure that Naomi House will put the money you raised to good use..

Musical Extravaganza at Enham

Barker Son & Isherwood LLP Solicitors were proud sponsors of the musical instruments workshop, which recently took place at Enham. The event ran from 7-11th April 2008 with workshops every day from 7-10th for residents of Enham to take part. There were 15 residents in total who attended the workshops at different times. The workshop itself was being run by Colin Jones a retired craft and design lecturer who gave his time to assist with the design and build of a multitude of instruments with various cultural influences. These ranged from 'skin' drums to 'reed' pianos. Sarah Hendry from the Firm visited Enham on the 9th April to see work in progress. The workshop consisted of 5 residents who were all working hard to create their own masterpiece. They all seemed to be having an enjoyable time and Tessa Makepeace, the Charity Co-ordinator told us that the sponsorship has been very much appreciated and that the residents have expressed to her how much they enjoy the workshops along with the fact that they are learning about new and exciting things. Thursday 10th April was the final day for adding the 'finishing touches' and rehearsing for the concert the next day. All the residents who had taken part in the workshops during the week, performed in the concert on Friday 11th April, which Sarah and Richard Gregory (Partner in the Firm) attended. The concert opened with a specially written song entitled 'Enham'. All types of music were covered during the performance (including 'Summer Holiday', Everything I do, Fernando, Don't cry for me Argentina', Every Step you Take, Sunrise and Slow Boat to China), each being performed as duets or solos and all exceptional considering that they did not have much time to practice. The residents were thoroughly enjoying themselves and seemed very proud of their achievements. The finale was written by one of the residents, once again about Enham in a 'rock' style. Overall, It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and it was great to see such a fantastic performance from everyone. It was both uplifting, at times very poignant and it was certainly very much appreciated by the residents who took part.
