Good Morning All, I hope you are fit and well.

During our virtual meeting on Tuesday we talked about making scrubs bags.

Here are some links if you are interested in sewing one or two.

Details on making scrubs for clinicians in local surgeries to follow in a later post.

I am organising the making of scrubs for our local GPS. GPS at Hampton Medical Centre have told me they have one set each. They would appreciate a second set each, so that when one us in the wash They can wear the other set. I am happy to bulk buy the fabric but I am looking for help with sewing.  Let me know if you would like to join me. Text me 07813 332096. I’ll share the plan for moving forward at Tuesday’s virtual meeting.

Stay safe. Kit

Hello everyone. Your committee has been listening to all the advice that is coming from our scientists and government. As a result we have made the decision to postpone next week’s meal out until more carefree times are upon us.

In addition you may have heard or seen on Facebook that the White House has temporarily closed its doors from today, 18th March – “Following a decision made by the trustees of Hampton on Thames Community Association (HoTCA), Hampton White House will regrettably be closed from Wednesday, 18 March until further notice.”

As a result we have to take the decision to postpone our April Meeting. It is the sensible thing to do with so many of us in those ‘at risk’ groups. It is possible that the May meeting will also be postponed, we will continue to review the situation and listen with care to government advice.

Please note that Hampton Carnival has also been postponed. Don’t stop collecting those t-shirts but please hang on to them for the time being.

If you ‘do’ social media please follow us on Facebook @thehamptonwi and we will try and keep you entertained and up to date there!

Take care, stay safe and healthy

Kit
