MEETINGS INFO
Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetingz again to you all and welcome to the March Newsletter, it has been a quietish month and I have been behaving myself so not a lotta news, last months Monday meeting was the branches AGM, and we had a terrific turnout and some new faces also which is brill. The AGM passed without any fighting, which was guid!! We also had Leslie Graham doing her now customary heed massages………… hopefully you all enjoyed it so much you will come back for a return visit.
This months meeting will be on Monday 30th March the usually time of 2-4 in the usual place the chaplaincy. This month we are having a visit from Brian Stewart who is going to give us a talk and Q and A on the Direct Payments Agency. I am rather rusty on what Brian does but I believe it is along the lines of getting help with the home care side of living with Parky, also there will be our Indian heed masseuse Leslie.
We look forward to seeing all of you there.

Partners, Friends and Family Meeting
We seem to have stalled a wee bit on that front as I believe they are trying to source a new meeting venue, one of the reasons for going to gala was to have a wee get together away from the hospital surroundings.
If you have any suggestions if you pass them to me I will pass them on to the relevant people.
So watch this space …………………………………
love is in the air!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you don't mind me passing on the congratulations of the group to Charlie and Maisie Hogarth who celebrate their 50th anniversary this month.
All the very best you two from all of us!!!!
