Our programme during Coronavirus restrictions
THE BAD NEWS: All our face-to-face events are suspended owing to the Coronavirus outbreak.
THE GOOD NEWS: We have many activities taking place using Zoom online meetings, and we are planning a full programme of events in the autumn when we hope the restrictions will be less severe.

Using the Zoom online meeting system, we can get together for exercise, voice and social activities.
Our Secretary will keep you informed of these and any other online events by email. Each email will include full joining instructions.

NEWRegular Branch meetings
After a successful trial in June, we plan a full programme of monthly Branch meetings online using Zoom.
CORRECTED DATE! Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 1 July at 7pm when our good friend Dr Patrick Lewis will speak on The rocky road from research to medicines in Parkinson’s and there will be an opportunity for small group discussions.
We very much hope that our Branch meeting on 2 September will go ahead as planned. Dr Simon Prangnell and Dr Ivan Koychev will try to answer our concerns about anxiety.
Planning for life after lockdown
We continue to plan for future events after the summer, when we hope things will be easier.
Branch Lunch
Lunch at the Greyhound in Besselsleigh was our first casualty of the restrictions. We are aiming to run it in the autumn but the date is yet to be confirmed.
