That same evening there will be a gala night of entertainment. Contact 020 8422 1215 for more information.

ONE of Harrow on the Hill's iconic tea rooms could be lost if plans to turn it into a family home are approved.
Tea At 3, located at 3 West Street, is currently closed and Harrow School, which owns the building, has lodged an application with Harrow Council to transform the building back into a house as it was in 1985.
The school's agent Andrew Reed told the authority in a design and access statement: "Whilst the lease does not expire until October 2013, it appears that the tea shop is unviable.
"[Conversion] will provide the school with additional masters accommodation close to the centre of the school.
"There will be no changes externally other than the removal of any signage."

LEARN about French glass artist Rene Lalique and his Art Noveau jewellery through a talk to be given by jeweller David Callaghan.
The Frenchman, who lived between 1860 and 1945, is the subject of the free lecture organised by Harrow National Trust Association.
Lalique's designs became acclaimed after making jewels for Sarah Bernhardt and then exhibiting at the great Paris exhibitions of 1894 and 1900 and in turn he attracted the attention of Calouste Gulbenkian, who purchased over 150 major items of jewellery from him, of which many are now exhibited in the Portuguese capital Lisbon.
From 1900 onwards he concentrated on works in glass and Lalique glass is still made today to his original designs and patterns.
