On March 6th we held our Annual general Meeting. I am pleased to report that all the current committee were re-elected to their respective offices.
Catherine Domgoole had decided to step down as her work commitments clashed with committee duties. She hopes to return in the not too distant future. We would like to thank Catherine for all her help and hope to see her at future events.
Whilst there was no raffle the Chairman invited those present to share a glass of bubbly which was well received and rounded of a nice evening!
In February we held our annual medical meeting.
We were greatly indebted to Dr Dhanuka Perera of St Bartholomew’s hospital in London to attend and give a presentation on stem cell therapy for heart disease.
The meeting was very well attended and Dr. Perera gave an excellent presentation after which he answered many questions.
One of our members, Paul Harris, who had received this treatment in 2023 gave an account of his experiences which was extremely interesting.
On the 6th December we held our Christmas party. Margaret again provided a superb meal and Matt entertained us until late into the night!
Our very own cabaret act – Suzanne and Bernie – gave a splendid rendition of “We’re a coupe of swells” leaving Fred Astaire and Judy Garland in the shade!
It is with great sadness that we said goodbye to our long standing patron, Dr. David Fluck.
David had been at St Peter’s Hospital for 28 years, arriving first as a cardiologist and eventually rising to the position of Medical Director.
He leaves a great legacy of change at the hospital which is too large to repeat here. However David was an instigator of our volunteers who attend Birch (the Cardiac) ward twice a week and do such sterling work in helping with the rehabilitation of heart patients.
David is moving to Cardiff where he will be Executive Medical Director of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and we wish him well in this prestigious appointment.
In July we held our annual BBQ at Papercourt. We had just over 40 people attend and many compliments were extended to the chefs and all the committee members and others who contributed to another successful event. The raffle raised over £110 and the event in total raised over £400.
In June we were invited to attend a National Garden Scheme garden in Cobham.This was again well attended and our hosts made us most welcome with tea and cake after viewing their magnificent garden.
