Purton and Green Gable Surgery PPG - Newsletter No 131 - December 2025
Many of you will have heard about Sheila Fowler’s sad passing at the end of November. Sheila was a Founder member of Purton Surgery PPG, holding the Secretary position for many years, and will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her. Our thoughts are with her family.
Another long-standing committee member, Patricia Baker, has also decided to step down from the committee after many years. She was responsible for running the 200 Club for quite a few years, once it had been set up by Marietta and Graham Crockford during the Covid Lockdowns.
Autumn Talk – 2 October 2025
Our autumn talk on Sepsis took place on Thursday 2 October in the Purton surgery. The talk was extremely well attended and everyone agreed it was an informative and very interesting evening. We are hoping that the speakers will return in the Spring next year to talk on the topic of “Looking After Your Kidneys”.
Look out for more information nearer the time!
200 Club
The most recent 200 Club draw was done at the beginning of December by Steve Tanner, the Surgery’s Advanced Care Practioner. The first prize winner was Peter Berry and the 2nd prize was won by Janet Stares who very kindly decided to donate her winnings of £15 back to the PPG.
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.
A form for joining the 200 Club via standing order of £15 per year taken on 1 September each year, is available from both Purton and Green Gable surgeries. Please hand in any completed forms to the receptionists at either surgery.
Table Top in Purton Surgery
Thank you to all who support the Tabletop in Purton waiting room and sale of secondhand books in both Purton and Green Gables surgery waiting rooms - 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.
