Refreshment Break
During the break Stan and Hazel conducted a raffle for prizes donated by members. Our new members Tom and Ivy were able to get to know other members. Members also took the opportunity to talk to Dr Hacking.
Open Forum
The Open Forum part of our meeting was replaced by a lively Question and Answer session on topics arising from the presentation, including the risk of radiation to patients and staff and what could be done to get rid of residual barium enema? This session concluded around 15.40pm. The group thanked Jeremy for a very informative presentation and we all felt we had a better understanding of the various imaging techniques and their applicability.
Post meeting note the pace of questions and answers were such that I found I could not take notes so please accept my apologies for not being able to record details in these minutes.
Any Other Business
Raffle/Refreshment Money
The raffle held during the refreshment break raised £13 50p this was passed to Rowland to hold for defraying expenses incurred by members providing services for the group. (Total held is now £26)
Refreshment donations raised £15 30p this was passed to St Margaret’s as Gift Aid.
Future Meeting Dates
Rowland had booked dates for meetings in 2008 with St Margaret’s Hospice and handed members a list of the meeting dates. All meetings were for Friday afternoons, however, it was not possible to get the third Friday in every month due to prior bookings so the closest available Friday was booked. List of dates has already been added to the Web Site.
