The Leatherhead Community Recycling Centre at Randalls Road in Leatherhead was closed from 9 January by Surrey County Council for improvement works. Following delays the work is now not expected to be complete until November. The nearest alternative tip is at Blenheim Road in Epsom.

Music on Thursdays
Music on Thursdays
12.30 lunchtime
Leatherhead Parish Church
Dear Friend,
Our Summer Cabaret Lunch takes place this Thursday August 9th, at the Trattoria in Leatherhead High Street. Our friends of the Brook String Duo will serenade us through lunch, from 12.15 to 1.45, with a range of light gyspy-style music. Please book your ticket with the Trattoria (01372 383 290). The price is £10 for a starter and a main, or for a main and a dessert – and of course, music while we eat.
We last heard David Smith’s violin-playing at the end of June, in a Brook String Trio concert with Eloise Prouse and Jacqueline Phillips. Next Thursday David, who trained at the Yehudi Menuhin School, will be joined by pianist Ruth Hahn. Do keep an eye on the webpage where we will add their programme as soon as it comes in.
And for the coming weeks:
23 August – Francisco Correa, classical guitar
30 August – Brook String Ensemble
6 September – Timothy Penrose, counter-tenor, with Graham Davies, organ
The Trattoria sells sandwiches and cakes at the end of each Music on Thursdays concert, so do stay and chat. There is free admission to Music on Thursdays lunchtime concerts in the church, with a retiring collection to cover costs.
These short concerts are a good way to introduce someone to classical concerts. Could you bring along someone new this summer?
If you know someone who would like to be added to our mailing list do please forward this newsletter to them and invite them to send their request to musiconthursdays@gmail.com
We look forward to welcoming you to these local concerts.

Teazle Wood
Dear All
With the help and generosity of many philanthropic, forward-thinking people, we have today completed the purchase of BOTH parts of Teazle Wood.
Please keep fund-raising – several people have lent money to make this once seemingly impossible task a reality, and we must work hard to pay them back.
Enjoy the attached snapshots, taken just a few minutes ago – it has been a particularly good year for teazles in Teazle Wood!
Thank you, and we will be in touch with news of fund-raising events, specific “thank you”s, next steps, etc.
Best wishes
Lucy Quinnell
on behalf of the Friends of Teazle Wood
