Hello to everyone. Spring is here at last and we can look forward to some sunshine. We hope that you will enjoy the newsletter and I hope to see you at future meetings.
Thanks to Pat, our programme secretary, we have a varied and interesting programme of events and of particular interest was the talk and question and answer session by two former Mayors of Worcester, Roger Knight and David Tibbett. David was a heart specialist working at WRH and he also worked in Africa.
Also on our programme was our regular annual New Year lunch at Boughton Golf Club. This year only 10 members attended the New Year lunch, which begs the question, will members still support the Annual New Year lunch or is there elements of it that we could do better? Please let us know what you think.
The committee are also planning to revive our tradition of a day trip in August and this year it will be a day trip to Stratford on Avon, a boat trip on Avon canal and river, followed by lunch of fish and chips and all for £20 per member However, the trip will only take place if we have enough support for it, so please let us know what you think by ticking the relevant line on the back of the membership fee form when you send it in.
Finally, we still do not have any information about hundreds of heart patients who go through Worcestershire Royal Hospital each year, because of patient confidentiality, and those patients do not know that we exist. Jenny Davis, the exercise instructor is doing an excellent job in spreading the word, but if you do know someone who would like a welcome pack then please let us know.
