We have monthly Branch Get-Togethers on the second Wednesday of the month, from September until May/June. These aim to be social meetings, where you can come along, knowing there are other people around for a chat, to share experience, perhaps learn something new, or find out details of what is going on in the Branch. Some months we may have guests, to share information or knowledge, but there is always time for socialising.
Our first meeting of our 2024-25 session is on Wednesday 11th September 2024.
Our new venue is LifeCare Centre, 2 Cheyne St, Edinburgh EH4 1JB.
We start at 2pm, where tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided. The meeting lasts around 90 minutes.
We send a leaflet to all Branch Members in early September each year, which gives our annual calendar of events, and outlines the speakers/guests and the Get-Togethers (which can be subject to change).
Should you require a copy, please contact: secretary@edinburghparkinsons.org or Join the Branch to go on the mailing list and you will automatically be sent a copy.
