Please arrive promptly for a 2pm start.

We would like to thank Judith Kisalu for giving up her Saturday to demonstrate the emergency injection procedure. 

We hope to be able to provide enough needles and related medical supplies for all attendees who wish to practice the injection procedure to do so, but cannot guarantee this.  The injection practice will be on oranges - not on ourselves!

We will be asking for a donation at the door of £5 waged, £2 unwaged to cover the costs of room hire, tea and coffee, and additional expenses.

This year we are not asking you to confirm your attendance through an RSVP.  Based on previous year’s attendance we are anticipating around 75 members plus family and friends.
