On the 3rd April we held a successful coffee morning with refreshments, including easter biscuits and hot cross buns.
We also had an easter egg hunt and colouring competition for the children. The winners of which have been notified and your prizes are at the reception for you to pick up.
An easter raffle also took place and the winners have been notified.
Thanks to all that attended and we hope you enjoyed the morning and look forward to seeing you at our next event.
February 2012
Thanks to all that attended and contributed towards the success of the Quiz Night. We hope that you enjoyed the evening. We must apologise for the lack of heat towards the end of the evening. Unfortunately this was beyond our control.
We are please to say that the evening raised £400 that will go towards important items that are requested by the medical staff at the surgery.
Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you at our 10th Annual Quiz Night in 2013.

The Xmas draw took place at the surgery and the winning tickets can be found under the News page.
September 2011
Since this month we have organised regular coffee mornings on the first Tuesday on each month. A speaker or presenter has attended each session and those patients who have attended have been very complimentary. However, the overall attendance has been disappointing and as a result the next morning will not take place until the Tuesday before Easter.
July 2011
Despite the early morning rain, our annual Health Promotion Day once again was deemed to be both enjoyable and informative. The Youth Mayor opened proceedings and it was good to see so many younger patients during the course of the afternoon.
