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.
We sent a leaflet to all Branch Members in August, which gives our annual calendar of events, and outlines the speakers/guests and the Get-Togethers.
Should you require a copy, please contact: secretary@edinburghparkinsons.org
Our next monthly Branch Get-Together takes place on Wednesday 13th September 2023.
We start at 2pm, where tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided. The meeting lasts around 90 minutes.
Venue is St Andrew’s & St George’s West,13 George St, Edinburgh EH2 2PA. This is very central to bus and train station, and blue badge holders can park in George Street.
