Post Meeting Note - Maggie received a letter of apology from James stating that he was unable to attend, once again, due to lack of transport. If any member passes through Sherborne on their way to our meetings and is able to offer James a lift could they please contact Maggie or Rowland.
Welcome
There were no new members at this meeting.
Guest speaker at this meeting would be Rowland.
All members were handed a copy of the five page “Colon-aid” First Annual Report August 2006 to July 2007” that had been produced by Rowland to report on the past years activities and achievements. A copy has been included on our web site and can be accessed via the Meetings & Reports page. Copies had also been sent out by e-mail to those who had provided their e-mail address to Rowland.
Matters Arising
Summer Fayre
The Summer Fayre at Forde Abbey in aid of St Margaret’s Hospice was cancelled at short notice due to waterlogged ground following days of heavy rain. Heather now has her freezers full of cakes that will be used at a later event.
Colorectal/Stoma Care Department
Maggie advised that Corrina her secretary had moved on to a new post in the PCT. Maggie confirmed that she will now distribute the meeting minutes for us. This is of great benefit to the group as we do not have to (a) maintain a secure record of member names and addresses and (b) minutes can be sent out to those who are on the contact list but cannot or choose not to attend meetings.
Maggie also advised that Lin had moved to a new post at YDH and that Annette would also be leaving soon. The group wishes them well and appreciates the care they have provided to many of us over the past years.
Web Site
Rowland reported that the Web Site had been updated to add the minutes of the Macmillan Workshop meeting and photographs from the 6th July Cream Tea event. Recent changes to the site including the photographs were shown on the projection screen.
