A very warm welcome to our new visitor Debra. We had a lovely time introducing ourselves and catching up with each other as this was the first meeting this year without speakers or activities.

a. 12 June 2016 – NGS Garden Visit at Cranbury Park – Mary and Linda hope to go with their partners
b. 7 or 10 Jul 2016 – NGS Crawley Gardens – The group decided that Sunday, 10 Jul was a more suitable date. Sue, Mary and Linda hope to go. We hope for good weather as it’d be a lovely gal’s day out!
4. The group discussed other events as follows:
5 Jul – Andrea Johnston will introduce the group to Mindfulness and also talk about the retreat she runs.
They would love to have the breast care nurse to visit and give us an update. Linda has emailed Ann and Claire proposed dates and also invited all the nurses to join us at NGS Crawley. Group also proposed to have Wessex Cancer Trust to give a talk. Linda will email.
