Hope George is well on his way back to good health.

This mornings guest speaker Lisa Westphal from National Heart Foundation was a bit of a worry. One in three will have a heart condition between 50 and 74 years of age. That is our club. But what sent a real shiver down our spines was the suggestion we could replace a glass of red wine with beetroot! She spoke convincingly about Heart attacks and strokes and the need for early intervention. Ringing 000 and beginning CPR when required. The term that stuck with me when she was talking about ringing the ambulance was 'better embarrassed than deceased' 

Maurice said, put 000 on your speed dial NOT him.

It was pointed out to me today that our website had the wrong meeting location. This has been rectified and now shows the Bridge Hotel (for those that haven't been to our new location....)
