Prostate cancer event 5/10/17
Chair to contact Bob Clarke NNPCG to finalise details – it was decided that it would be best to invite Woodlands patients to BPMC event rather than to organise another event at their surgery. Assistant Manager to look to restrict appointments to no later than 18.00 on evening of event to allow set up for event. Assistant Manager to text suitable attendees on5/9 and also a week before the event.
Funding Opportunities
Treasurer had received a positive response from one local councillors regarding possible funding – Treasurer to pursue this in near future.
Chair informed the Group that the application for a grant that supports participation in health issues had been unsuccessful.
Fashion Show
It was agreed that the funding from the event should go to the HIP group. This would require amendment of the poster and ticket wording and liaison with Woodlands to see if they were still prepared to support the event. If they were supportive then a reciprocal event for them to raise funding would be suggested in 2018. The details of the event were finalised with regard to advertising and promotion.
BPMC Walking Group
Chair to provide ADC with contact details of 3 Group members who had confirmed their attendance at the Walk Leader training course. Assistant Manager and Practice Manager to identify ways to promote the first event
