Social Activities and Meetings
The Bracknell & District Branch of Parkinson’s UK arranges regular events which you are welcome to attend. To see the upcoming schedule of events please refer to the Diary.
The aim of our Branch is to provide support for local people living with Parkinson’s and their families.
Prospective members are also very welcome to attend these events on a trial basis. We are a friendly bunch and we aren’t going to try and arm-wrestle you into becoming a member – it’s up to you if you want to join. So please come along and meet us.
If you haven’t been before it might be best if you contact us in advance so that we can be sure to make you welcome when you arrive. There’s nothing worse than making the effort to attend and finding that a last minute change of schedule occurred which we might have been able to make you aware of.
Monthly Meetings
We hold regular monthly meetings, usually held on the second Monday of each month. Wherever possible we invite a speaker to give a presentation on a Parkinson’s issue, or a topic which members might find to be of general interest. Our frequent visitors include support personnel from the local and UK Parkinson’s community.
Note that there is not normally a meeting in August, however please check the Diary to make sure.
Refreshments (tea/coffee) are also provided.
The primary purpose of these meetings is to keep members informed of developments within both the local organisation and on a wider scale. They also provide members with an opportunity to meet with other members and raise topics of interest.
These meetings generally start at 7:30pm and last for about 1.5 hours. There is no dress code – casual would be fine.
These meetings take place at Edmond’s Court, Sandy Lane, Bracknell RG12 2HP. Please see Diary for details.
Location: Edmond’s Court
Pub Socials
Separate to the monthly meetings, we also arrange events for socialising with other members on a regular basis.
This usually involves meeting for lunch at a local pub, The Oakingham Belle in Wokingham, where you can enjoy a nice meal or just have a drink and share experiences with other Branch members. It’s close to the A329 junction for Wokingham – just on the right as you head from the A329 towards Wokingham town centre. Alternatively, every other month we also hold a joint Ten Pin Bowling/Pub Lunch event, with bowling at The Hollywood Bowls followed by lunch at a nearby pub. For further details, check our Diary page.
If you would like further details about these events, please get in touch with Wendy Richardson, phone either 01276 491529 or 07824 811898, or email woo2424@gmail.com.
