PARKINSON GROUP
The closing poetic words of the Christmas Pantomime performed by and for the Parkinson’s Group Sunday afternoon gathering in January seemed to sum up what this group aims for and achieves - and also passes on thanks for the support of this magazine and its readers.
“We would like to say a huge thank you For your support and friendship too.
Now, can I remind you of all we do
That we have on offer to help support you?
THE NEW COUNTESTHORPE HERALD 21
On Monday there is a monthly ‘caff’
we meet to chat and have a ‘laff’;
On Tuesday come along and exercise
Strengthen your muscles and tone those thighs; Or maybe a monthly Nordic walking group Improves your balance and posture as you troop? On Friday move to music and singing, you’ll find Friendships, fun and laughter. No obligation of any kind”
Try to read this with the odd shout of ‘He’s behind you!’ or ‘Oh yes there is!’ to put it into context!
Our meetings continue throughout 2023 on the second Sunday of each month, at 2.30 on February 12 and March 12th at the Mary Forryan Centre; our ‘Challenge Parkinson’s’ weekly exercises at 3.00 at the St. Francis Centre; Movement to Music at 2.30 and Singing for Fun at 4.00 both on Friday afternoons at the Elmesthorpe Village Hall; plus our monthly ‘drop ins’ at Dobbies at Stapleton on the third Monday of the month, [February 20 and March 20] between 2.00 and 4.00 in the Restaurant Conservatory. We also have a monthly Carers Group on the third Tuesday each month at the same time as the exercise class. Nordic Walking resumes in March at Burbage Common. For further information on any of our activities please contact Janet Kavanagh on 07932615233.
So don’t let Parkinson’s dictate how you live your life, come along and join the Hinckley Group and see the benefits for yourself. Robert A. Leake
