Autumn Walk 2012


St Jude’s Autumn Walk
Saturday 13 October 2012

For the fourth year running St Jude’s invites you to bring your families, friends and dogs if you would like to discover green and secluded paths through North London’s parks and woodland in autumn sunshine. We hope that this six-mile sponsored walk, almost entirely away from roads, will raise as much as possible for the St Jude’s central heating appeal fund. This year we are going back to the route that we followed in 2009 and 2010, starting at St Jude’s and finishing in Finsbury Park (return from Manor House underground station or by 210 bus). If you were not able to do the previous walks, come this time and find out what you were missing. Each of these walks was great fun and a happy social occasion.
The proceeds of the walk will go as before to the central heating appeal fund, which now stands at about £27,000. We intend to renovate all the radiators, renew the 100-years-old pipework and extend it by adding grilles in the floor to disperse heat more efficiently. We hope that grant-giving bodies will be able to match the funds we have raised.
Make a note of the date in your diaries now. If you do not wish to walk, please consider sponsoring one of the walkers.  Adult walkers will be asked to raise a minimum of £25 in sponsorship.

All the bells














Turner Prize-winning artist Martin Creed developed a collaborative artwork that enabled people throughout Britain to welcome the Olympic Games and those participating in it to the country. 
At 8.12am on July 27, members of the public were invited to ring any type of bell available to join a chorus of thousands of others in expressing their enthusiasm for the Games.



St Jude's has two bells acquired in August 1932 from the demolished church of All Hallows the Great, Upper Thames Street although only one is used. It was forged in 1670 from the metal of the medieval bells melted during the Great Fire of London in 1666.
