Donation from PIPS
A huge “thank you” to PIPS for their very generous donation of £309.78 recently. PIPS is an essential part of living in Purton and their share out of the surplus they made this year to local and national charities is much appreciated.
Our next talk – SEPSIS
We are continuing our regular talks giving information regarding various topics we think will be of interest to our patients and their families.
Our next talk is being held on Thursday 2 October starting at 19.30 in the waiting room of the Purton Surgery. The talk is covering the topic of SEPSIS and will be given by Melanie Phillips who is the Sepsis, Acute Kidney Injury Lead at the Great Western Hospital.
Entrance is free but in order to manage the numbers, you need to pick up a ticket from the receptionists at either surgery, Purton or Cricklade. The tickets are available from 1 September.
200 Club
The August draw was done by Karen Humphrey who is a Receptionist at the Practice.
The £100 winner was Nina Herbert. All members of the 200 Club are allocated a number to be used in the draw, if you are a member and wish to know your number then please email our Treasurer: treasurer.psppg@gmail.com to request it.
200 Club RENEWAL
As we said in the July Newsletter, it’s coming up to 200 Club renewal time!! The 200 Club year starts on 1 October but subscriptions need to be received during September.
If you have set up a Standing Order then you need to do nothing else, your membership will automatically renew.
It is much easier for both yourselves and Peter Kinsman, our Treasurer, if you set up a standing order for membership. A form for joining the 200 Club via a Standing Order of £15 per annum, taken on 1 September each year, is available at both Purton and Green Gable surgeries. Please speak to one of the receptionists if you cannot see the forms and hand in any completed forms to the receptionists at either Surgery.
Being a 200 Club member will give you the opportunity of winning one of the two prizes each month, 1st Prize of £100 or 2nd Prize of £15.
Table Top in Purton Surgery
Thank you to all who support the Table Top/second hand books in Purton Surgery Waiting Room, and the books in Cricklade - to those who contribute items and those who buy.
We do need more donations, so if you have anything to donate, please hand your books/items to the Reception staff in either Purton or Green Gable Surgery. For any items you wish to take away, please give your donation to the Receptionists at either surgery.
