Whilst this is strictly not a PPG issue, I think that many patients of the practice might be interested in joining this group on a Monday morning in Askam (LA16 7BD). I attend myself with husband John, and have found it great fun, and useful. It is sponsored somehow via the NHS, though not through DVMP, and I suppose its original purpose was to get people out of their houses, meeting up, having a chat , and putting their brains in gear! No doubt it is good for your mental health too!
It's very informal, very friendly and only mildly competitive (in a friendly way). We have lots of laughs, and there is quite a bit of informative chit-chat between activities. Most weeks there will be a bingo game (a beetle drive has been mooted!), some brain twister game, but the real focus is on the quiz!
As the group is quite small at the moment, the quiz is run on a collective basis - those present against the quiz book. So all win or lose together. If the numbers increase significantly, then this arrangement might change. Still, it gets the brain cells moving on a Monday morning!
There is a wide variety of people attending, so don't worry about whether you will fit in or not - you will. The group is very open and welcoming.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are included in the £1 fee. So join us on Monday mornings at 11.00 at the Askam Rugby Club Clubhouse. I'm sure you will enjoy it!.
ALL WELCOME!
