THE SHAKER

Peterborough & District | July 2019 | Issue 37 Editor Ruth Brinkler-Long

Record numbers at Quiz Night Waitrose's Healthy Eating Specialist "Jodi Kaus' joined us as our June Guest Speaker Over 30 people turned up to hear the presentation which included "10 ways to a healthier you" Jodi was very professional and made the presentation interactive and interesting. Jodi's knowledge was good and she and was able to answer all the questions asked by our members. There has been some lovely feedback from our members who all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon A big thank you to Ady Woolley and the team at The Fane Clinic and all their clients who bought tickets in the Parkinson’s fundraising raffle organised by the Clinic.

An amazing £100 was raised which will help fund our weekly exercise classes.

Many of our members that use the services at The Fane Clinic have really benefited from their expert knowledge and advice.

If you would like more information about The Fane Clinic and the treatments that are available please use the link below. The branch also has a supply of leaflets www.thefaneclinic.co.uk

Morborne's Farm Lambing Day

In March Peterborough Parkinson's were invited to have a tombola and children's games at Morborne's Farm Lambing Day

We were one of two charities who were invited to the lambing day and we were delighted to have been presented with a cheque for £2,100 by the NFU earlier this Month

The branch has also been invited back next year by the NFU so we look forward to another bumper fun packed day.

Treasurer David Long accepted the cheque joined by branch members John & Linda Hoggett. Positively Parkinson’s proceeds sent to PUK to aid Research

July Coffee Morning

What an enjoyable July coffee morning held at the Three Horseshoes in Yaxley. It was a lovely hot day and 44 members turned up and were able to sit out in the garden and enjoy coffee in the sun. Thanks to Tina for organising the raffle & to Muriel & Keith Martin for selling the tickets. Joy greeted & signed in everyone & handed out name badges. Dennis did a great job of serving drinks & biscuits as well as looking after everyone.

It really was the perfect venue & several members stayed and enjoyed a lovely lunch. Thank you to Verity Woodman who was our host from the Three Horseshoes & looked after us so well. Verity has also agreed to have a Parkinson's collection tin on the bar for us
