CHAIR LOOKING FURRA GOOD HOME
Before I start ………… this does not mean that Alan Robertson oor
chairman is looking furra guid hame!!!!
We received a call from Jill Sheil, Earlston saying that she had
an electric recliner chair thingy that was looking for a good
home……….. The chair is maroon in colour.
If you feel you would benefit from this terrific piece of
engineering if you give Jill Shiel a call on 01835 823 176.
If you would need a hand to transport the chair…… fear not ……
just call Davies & Hattie Haulage aka Gary 01750 22588 who will
pick up the chair for you free oa charge. As Jill told us she is
not looking for money for the chair it is free if you can give
it a good home……

Aye folks I hate to be the barer oa glad tidings but with
Christmas in mind I have these couple bits oa information that
might be useful to you……………………………………
Every year the Parky Xmas Catalogue comes out, this year is no
exception, but for the first time you can place yer order
online!!!! Aye! The internet has landed at Parkinson’s UK. The
web address for all items available this year is
Happy surfing. Oh aye if yer looking at the products available
this year can you guess what wee Olly will be getting? (Clue its
tae do wi brain cells!!)
Also on the Christmas front………………… last year we had to cancel
our Christmas shopping trip due to the weather conditions being
only suitable fur sledging and skiing as modes oa transport.
With this in mind we have brought the date of this year’s
shopping trip to November.

We have booked this year’s Christmas Party for Wednesday 7th
December and it will be at Hawick Rugby Club where we will have
fun, games, a buffet, and maybe even Santa….(does Santa go to
Hawick?)
We are going to arrange transport to the party from all areas to
make it easy for everyone to attend. More details nearer the
time.
Finally on the Christmas front a few of you have asked if there
was any chance of a Christmas party coming back so we are going
to try out the party theme this year.
This year’s trip will be on
Tuesday 15th
November going to Livingstone Shopping Centre. Full details
will be printed nearer the time.

cues up Cliff Richard ‘n Congratulations!!!
Yes it is with great pleasure that I can announce some terrific news
about someone we all know, and are grateful for all the work she
does………..

received her Diploma on Parkinson’s Disease. What a star she is!!
Here at the newsletter offices we thought that in recognition of her
achievements Jill should be the first recipient of the Borders
Parky’s Smarty Pants of the Year trophy…………………
Once it has been constructed, if we ever get planning
permission for it that is!!! I’m sure I speak for everyone when I send Jill oor CONGRATULATIONS |

Unfortunately we had
to cancel this year’s trip to Moffat as we had only 12 names down.
