Chorleywood Common Youth Football Club will run its annual end of season tournament on 17th May 2015 for U6 to U12s at the club's Chorleywood House ground. This attracts many teams, often from other counties. Its a major fundraiser for the club so they are looking for sponsors of the event - and/or new kit which will carry the sponsor's logo.

Over the weekend of 10th and 11th May from 11am (last admission 4pm), Maple Lodge Nature Reserve will be open to the public. This private reserve is situated in an unexpected corner of Hertfordshire, and is home to a rich variety of wildlife including waterfowl, woodland birds, bats and butterflies.
On both days guided tours of the reserve will be organised by members of the Maple Lodge Conservation Society. There are two lakes and many hides to explore around the reserve, some of which have wheelchair access.
Light refreshments will be available all day and there will also be plants, second-hand books and handmade greeting cards on sale. Entry to the reserve and parking will be free of charge.
Maple Lodge Nature Reserve is owned by Thames Water who lease it to the members of Maple Lodge Conservation Society who work hard all year round to maintain the 40 acres of woodland, meadow and lakes. Membership of the Society is open to anyone with an interest in conservation and natural history.

Friday 14th February 2014 The Chorleywood Film Club presents the antidote to Valentine schmaltz.
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (15)* is a funny, intriguing and moving film about love and estrangement.
What would happen if you woke one day to find your loved one had wiped their memory of you in an attempt to move on?
What if you met again as strangers?
Would you end up lovers again?
A Valentine's Day movie for the heart and the mind.
We are also very proud to bring you the multi-award-winning short film The Voyagers.
A story about the fastest-travelling and furthest Valentine from earth and the lovers who made it: Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan.
The show starts at 8pm. Doors open at 7:30pm. There will be a bar and light refreshments.
Tickets are £5 and are available online or at the Chorleywood Bookshop.
* Eternal Sunshine is a "memory film". Even if you have seen it the Film Club guarantees you will enjoy it a 2nd time.
