SECRETARY`S REPORT 2/22025
Hi Folks.
The main purpose of this update is to let you know about our sick members .
Dave Sharpe had his by-pass op, following his heart attack about 2/3 weeks ago ,but on returning home he had a black out . He was taken back into hospital and they discovered fluid on his lung. The attempt to drain this led to an infection . I've been contacting his daughter Avril. She has just emailed to tell me that although he has blacked out a couple of times recently they think they have the meds sorted and he could get home today .
Brian Dunn had his major operation last Thursday (he's the person in the white cap on the photo of last Tuesday's walkers having soup in Asda ) . I phoned his wife Bridie this morning . Good News - Brian has responded well to the operation . He is making good progress and she hopes he will be home by the middles of next week .
Denis Callaby has an open wound on his back which is troubling him , together with his lung cancer . He contacted me last Thursday to say that they are going to start his radio-therapy soon . As he was diagnosed with the cancer in October we hope soon means days or a week or two not months !
Peter Sibley was thought to have a DVT but fortunately that is not the case and we hope to see him back with us next week .
Tom French has had an eye operation . We hope to see him back soon and we hope he can see us !
Yesterdays birthday boy - Brian Simpson has an important hospital appointment next Thursday - Good luck young Brian .
Walks
As you will see from the photo our numbers were a bit depleted this week . We still enjoyed the walk and the soup etc at Asda Thornaby .
Next Tuesday we are walking round Ropner Park in Stockton . Parking is available on Hartburn Lane near the entrance to the park. Alternatively you may find spaces on Middlesbrough road east of the park .
The new walk rota suggests we walk from Asda again next week . Dave apologises for the duplication and suggests we could change this . We could do another walk from the same venue or following discussion we may change to another walk . Watch this space as I'll report next week what our decision is following Tuesdays discussion . If you downloaded the timetable the Linthorpe Cemetary walk is swapped with the Tees Barrage walk from 8thJuly to !5th July so that we can have a guided walk with Ian Stubbs . - An expert on Linthorpe Cemetery .I hope to download a new timetable/rota next week with the latest amendments .
There will be a Committee meeting at Trinity on Monday 10am . I will give you information on proposed trips and courses next week following that meeting .
