Wincanton Parkinson’s Group Celebrates Milestone
At our March meeting we will be changing from a Support Group to a Full Branch of Parkinson's Disease Society of Great Britain.
Known as Parkinson's UK, we will be inviting senior staff from London HQ, plus local dignitaries and members of other groups and Branches to celebrate this milestone. We have only been running just over three years and started with 16 members and now have over 80 members.
We meet at Charlton Musgrove Memorial Hall, Shalford Lane, Charlton Musgrove Wincanton from 2.30pm to 4.30pm. Here is a summary of forthcoming events.

Outing – having been rained off in May and June in previous years we are hoping July will be third time lucky weather-wise. Avebury is the possible destination (proper coach transport would be on offer) but please let Julie know what you think. |
