Jackie Farrell who leads Sutton Shakers support group reflects on their May meetup.

Fifteen members of our Sutton Shakers met at Holiday Inn, Sutton, for a lunchtime meetup 31st May. Apologies were given from another nine unable to attend. 

Waiting for our food is a good opportunity for sharing news.

We welcomed Maggie a new member to the group. Jackie then shared her experiences with the assistive devices GyroGlove and the Vilim Ball and gave a short demo how each worked.  

Laura who brings her mother Brenda to the group, shared with us how a speech therapist was helping Brenda improve and strengthen her voice with breathing exercises. This was also of interest to the group in particular those with voice tremor.

We discussed the possibility for a group outing of a Thames riverboat trip in the summer, but wondered when the summer was going to arrive!! 

Our lunch was served by the lovely Holiday Inn staff who looked after us well. A very relaxed afternoon with a friendly bunch of likeminded people.

Our next meeting is yet to be arranged.
