NEXT MONDAY MEETING
The next Monday meeting will be 29th April 2-4 in the chaplaincy centre at the BGH. This month is a social event; recently we have had a lot of new faces, but not much time to get to know each other so this month we will be having a blether meeting. Don’t worry our specialist nurse Jill will still be there, as will oor resident therapist Lesley. We will have tea and coffee as usual, thanks to Maybole for last months hame baking......... An I missed it too. So come along for a chat and a cuppa that’s Monday 29th April 2013, 2pm – 4pm just drop in anytime between them, look forward to seeing you there.

I hope am
not repeating masel!! But
BBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR it’s bloomin freezing, Aye
STILL!!
I bet the daffodils are wondering what is happening ,
they will be used to opening up to the sunshine, well not this
year matey!
Well maybe
it’s not sunny out there but it was pretty sunny at last month’s
meeting, as Agnes Waldie treated us all to a show of her photos
from her recent and latest TREK, (I wonder if Agnes ever goes
into space it might be called a STAR TREK!.......... get it? Oh
I crack masel up sometimes. Apologies
for not managing to the meeting Agnes as I was otherwise engaged
celebrating Hilary’s 30th Birthday, in some tropical
island. As this newsletter drops through your letter box we will
be in the midst of awareness week 2013.
We don’t really have anything planned for the group, but
maybe if we start now as a group we might come up with some way
of raising awareness of Parkinson’s, if any of you have any
ideas share your ideas with one of the committee.

HE’S BEHIND YOU! We have a newsletter scoop/exclusive now, Jennifer Brown of Innerleithen fame, has been very busy behind the scenes working away for the group. Jennifer has managed to book a number of seats for the Pantomime in Edinburgh this December, ‘No she hasn’t!’ Oh yes she has!’ ‘No she.............. Well I bet you all could read me like a book, and were waiting for that panto classic to pop up in this article somewhere..... ‘Yes you were!’ Anyway we will give you full details in next month’s newsletter. A big thank you goes to Jennifer for her hard work getting this organised.

The heading to
this article, I am led to believe is misleading; it says young
Parky’s an I got told that am no young anymore!! The heading
does state Young Parky’s but what is a Young Parky?
Well I looked at masel in
the mirror this morning and the person looking back at me was a
handsome no not young man, then I looked again and it wasnae an old
man looking back at me, it was an inbetweeny sort oa guy looking
back at me. So where does
that put me,
‘In a room with the key thrown away .............. Oh ha-ha!’ Okay if I can
be serious for a minute............... ok you’re right I can’t be
serious for a minute! So what do we
mean when we say Young Parky’s Meet? If you’re of working age and
think you would benefit from chatting to other people who have the
same challenges as yourself, get yersel along to the next meeting.

Well hopefully
that is that cleared up???????? So if you fancy
coming along to meet with an chat to other Young Parky’s and sort oa
Young Parky’s, the next meet will be Tuesday 11th June
6.00 to 6.30ish, at Nachos Fiesta, on the High Street in
Galashiels.
Committee Meeting
Calling all
committee members just to let you know that last month’s meeting

there.
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP OUT THE GROUP AND
