EASTER TOMBOLA IN LYMINGTON MARKET
We set up our stall very early on a cold, wet and windy morning not knowing quite how the weather would turn out for the rest of the day. However, we were lucky, the rain stopped and the sun even came out for a while in the afternoon.
There were plenty of people about who were very happy to try their luck on our Tombola!
At the end of the day we had made a total of £480.00 for our Group funds - Brilliant!

TOMBOLA STALL AT THE VE80 GET TOGETHER DAY
The New Milton Lions put on a magnificent day on New Milton Recreation Ground. Lots of stalls, plenty of people, loads of entertainment with plenty of patriotic war songs, brass bands and union jack flag-waving! We thoroughly enjoyed having lots of members helping and visiting our stall - a great day out.
At the end of the day we had made a total of £360.00 for our Group funds - Fantastic!

The Social Committee decided to try having an Easter themed Arts & Crafts meeting in April. It was not something that we had done before so we wondered if Members would enjoy it!
It was fun planning it and putting all the arts and crafts bits together that we would need. What would the reaction be? Members on each table were asked to decorate one of the great plain white Easter bonnets that Pam had hand-made - thank you Pam!
A large array of craft items from wreaths to wooden windmill sets were provided and members got busy! There was a lovely hum of conversation going on around the room and people were hopping up and down to the table to get the items they needed. People even carried on creating whilst they had their refreshments!
At the end of the afternoon we had a parade of members wearing the Easter Bonnets around the room! There are clearly a lot of talented members judging by the wonderful items created!
Did members like it - we think so Phew!

We know many of you listen to the Award-winning Movers & Shakers podcast featuring Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Nick Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman. Although we manage to joke about the condition, Parkinson’s is not an easy illness to tolerate and we, the Movers and Shakers, have been both moved and shaken by what our listeners have told us. As a result, we have come up with a Parky Charter - a list of things all Parkies should have a right to expect from a functioning health service and a caring care system. We now have the chance to take the Charter to 10 Downing Street on World Parkinson’s Day (April 11th).
Parkinson’s UK, Cure Parkinson’s and Spotlight Young Onset PD, support the principles of the Charter and are promoting it wherever they can. We also know how effective and persuasive petitions can be so if you agree with the Charter’s principles, please visit the web page below to sign the petition and please, please urge family and friends, healthcare professionals, everyone who cares about Parkinson’s, to sign it as well. The more people who can sign it before World Parkinson’s Day the more impact it will have.
