Event news -
Wiltshire Farm Foods
came to Clevedon to show their range of pre-packed food
in April. Group members were given hot samples of the WWF range to try along with a talk about the production of the foods, the portion sizes and delivery of the meals etc. WFF is available for anyone it is not just for those who are elderly or housebound and from the taste testing session we all had at the group meeting, they can rest assured everyone was well impressed.
Thanks to the ladies for an enjoyable afternoon of nibbling!
Dr John Harvey visited the group to give one final talk to group members from North Bristol, Bristol, Clevedon and Weston super Mare Breathe Easy Groups on 22nd March 2012. The group had the opportunity to ask questions of Dr Harvey and gain insight into areas they were lacking in knowledge. It was a good turn out on the day and 40+ group members and other individuals attended to hear the talk.
Special thanks were given from Christine Reid on behalf of BLF and Nick Pennycott ex group chair thanked Dr Harvey for all his support over the years on behalf of patients and Breathe Easy supporters. See photograph below.

St John's Ambulance contact Judith Goldsmith will be giving a talk and demonstrtaion at this meeting. Her friend "Annie" with whom anyone who has done a First Aid course will know, will be helping Judith explain the basics of Emergency First Aid and how Carers can obtain support. As individuals with a lung condition often take care of their own health this will be an interesting talk.
Can You Help
If anyone would like to offer their time to help the committee with a committee role or as a volunteer with the committee, no qualifications needed, and just a few hours each month is all the commitment required. Perhaps you have some good contacts that would be willing to give a talk to the group or you have an outgoing personality and would be happy to welcome members at the meetings. You may not have a lung condition, but may have a few hours to offer in your local area. Why not give us a call.
