In 2011, the Club Sociale Italiano di Finchley chosen COSMIC as as its chosen charity for the year. We held several events to raise funds, and throughout the year raised £1,300.

Our regular events are held to bring together the Anglo-Italian community in North London, with the funds raised being donated to charity. We strive to bring our members an enjoyable and varied social calendar.

Below is the letter received from COSMIC thanking us for the fundraising we have carried out throughout 2011, and telling us how the donation will be spent. In 2012, the CSIF will be raising funds for OGI.

We would like to thank our members for the support they have given the CSIF, which has enabled us to donate our target to COSMIC.

Debbie Ferri is one of the Finchley OGI teams longest serving coaches and she is currently undergoing treatment for Breast Cancer.

Her daughters, Victoria & Giorgia, are participating in the Race for Life this year and are trying to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK, a very worthy charity.

As most of you know OGI celebrated it’s 30th Anniversary this year. Here at Finchley we have also got a reason to celebrate. What I hear you ask ?? We are celebrating our Team Manger Gaetano’s 20 years Service to the Finchley OGI Team.

Alessandro continues with the history of the club in this second part.

The Club Sociale Italiano di Finchley (CSIdF) was formed some 30 years ago by Padre Pier Giorgio Venturini of the Saveriani Fathers and Zino Daley. Coincidentally, the Saveriani Fathers principal head-quarters was in Parma, an area from which many of the Club's founding members and committee originated from.
