Thanks to Surrey Heath Borough Council there is now a free weekly Table Tennis session available for people with Parkinson’s in Camberley.  It is free to attend, all equipment is provided and coaching will be available if you need it. It runs from 2 – 3.30pm on Mondays from 15th May to the end of June (excluding 29th May Bank Holiday).  You don’t need to book, just turn up and have some fun! Seating is available if someone wants to watch rather than play.

The venue is the Ping Pong Parlour, The Square, Camberley, GU15 3SP.  This is an unused retail unit roughly opposite the large Boots shop.

At the end of June they’ll review the numbers attending and decide whether to continue.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Gill Campbell as our new Branch Chair in succession to Kay who retired earlier in the year at the Branch AGM after many years’ service.

Gill has been a member of the Branch for many years and, following the AGM, put herself forward for the role.

Having completed the application process with Parkinson’s UK and our Branch Committee, Gill is now in post and so will undergo an induction to the role from Parkinson’s UK and our Committee.

Gill has asked me to send members the following message by way of introduction;

Hello all members 

Those I know and those I don’t know but am looking forward to getting to know.

My name is Gillian but everyone calls me Gill which I do prefer. Having had Parkinson’s diagnosed 15 years ago, l know most of the problems and difficulties we all have to deal and struggle with in our everyday lives and I am therefore hoping to bring/ include that perspective to the role of  Branch Chair.  I feel that my life experiences and people skills (including the Liverpool accent and humour ) will expand my role and encourage all  members, volunteers, carers, and their families to participate in all our activities, social and fundraising. 

Hoping to see and meet you all in the near future.

Gill

I am sure you will wish to join the Committee in welcoming Gill to the role and in assisting her to settle into her new position in the Branch
