Branch Meeting.
On the last Thursday of every month there is a meeting held, open to all members and interested people, in Rugby United Reformed Church Hall from 2-4pm.
Each month we either have a guest speaker on a range of general interest subjects ,or a social event such as a quiz, followed by refreshments. It is a great opportunity for you to come along and meet other people affected by Parkinsons, chat about what helps, make friends , and find out more about what the branch has to offer from the people that are using the activities.
There is no charge, but there is a donation plate for the refreshments.
Carers’ Meeting.
If your partner or relative has Parkinsons you may not think of yourself as a carer, but this group is designed for you. Being a partner , a friend or family member of someone with Parkinson’s can often make you feel a bit isolated, or feel a bit helpless, or at a bit of a loss as to where to get help and support. This group is there as a chance for you to come and chat to other carers, who understand that sometimes it is good to talk, they may have found ways of coping with a problem that has cropped up or you might be able to share your discoveries too. Alongside a chance to sit and chat, we also invite in speakers from time to time, guided by what people need to know, about care issues such as finance, equipment, accessing services etc. Keep an eye out on the news page for news of speakers.
The group is run on the second Monday of each month at The Methodist Church hall, Russellheim Way, Rugby from 1.30-2.30pm in the small room next to the exercise class. This meeting is at the same time as the exercise class, so that the person you care for can go and get some exercise, while you chat and have a cup of tea! The meeting is free and open to all.
Outings
Each year we organise outings to local attractions for our members and their carers, which is subsidised by the branch for those with Parkinson’s and their carers/past carers. We aim to make this outing as accessible as possible, so that all our members can attend if they want to, and we use suitable coaches for those attending.
We hope to go to Trentham Gardens in April -a truly beautiful place famous for its magnificent gardens. The cost will be around the £10 mark-tbc nearer the event.
In the Summer we are hoping to go on a day river cruise, and then in the Autumn we will go to Shuttleworth-home of a fascinating air and car museum with its own airfield and beautiful gardens. You can sit with a cup of tea by the air field and watch the planes!
We will confirm final details at the booking stage, but if you are interested in the outing, please contact Janet Martin or e-mail us as soon as possible once we have a date, as it is a first come, first served basis. Money will need to be paid before the visit., but these events are subsidized by the branch.
There will be a sign up sheet available . Places are limited , and it is on a first come, first served basis.
Social Events
Annual Cream Tea
Here at Rugby we do like our cakes and this event has become a bit of a favourite. In the summer months we organise a cream tea at a local garden centre at a slightly subsidised rate for members. It’s a good chance to chat with friends, shop amongst the flowers and indulge our sweet tooth.
Other Events.
Look out for our other events. We usually have a few skittles events in the year, a carer’s meal, a branch meal, and of course our Christmas Party, which is free to all our members, and includes entertainment and refreshments. All our events are open to our members and their guests, with subsidies for those with Parkinsons and their carers. This extends to those whose loved ones with Parkinsons have passed on, as we believe in continuing to care for the family.
