News - 20th March 2009

On Friday 20th March 09 the first day of Spring in beautiful weather conditions our Cardiac Nursing Specialist, Irene could not understand the reason for the high blood pressure and fast pulse rates recordings from some of the male patients attending the Rehab: session, not realising the hidden passionate feelings for the Welsh team playing Ireland on Saturday 21st March 09, rugby international at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium, until noticing the conspicuous absence of a few rugby fanatic, Cardiac Members.

All members gave a warm welcome to Shirley Inman after her period of incapacity with coronary problems, which are now thankfully showing signs of improving.

Norman & Judith Shale from St Dogmaels paid a courteous visit to the Group, with Norman still not coming to terms with his newly installed “Pacemaker”.

Best wishes for better health to Terry Grover & his wife Iris, both having submitted their apologies due to a back injury & sickness.

Members that have not yet finalized their remittance for the holiday are requested to complete by Friday 27th March 09.

Monies are still coming in for the “Comic Relief” day held on 13th March 09 and hopefully will top the £700.00 mark. A very big thanks to you all for the excellent support given.
