This was held during the afternoon of Thursday 30th June. The occasion was enhanced by the appearance of local dignitaries and Bob Smytherman, Town Crier, ensured that everyone knew what was going on. The many patients who joined us were treated to a very informative and worthwhile occasion. Awareness was raised of the work of local organisations and charities as well as enabling visitors to ‘sample’ different forms of therapy. The Health Checks were particularly well supported and identified patients who need to be treated because of their high blood pressure or raised sugar levels that will need further investigation. Attendance throughout the afternoon was very good and the pleasant weather enabled guests to enjoy a strawberry tea etc. Sadly, the expected hundred or so young children to join Jump Start Jonny’s fitness session, once the schools had finished, did not materialise but a good number did enjoy his sessions. A big thank you to all those who were able to support the afternoon and to the staff and patients who donated cakes, biscuits etc. Thank you also to all those who spent a £1 on our Lottery – number 88 won £50!
