February 2021 News
Hello to you all,
Well, here we are, at the start of another year and hope you are all safe and well. Let us hope with the Covid vaccination it will be a better one than the last 12 months.
On the TAG front it has been very quiet, although we still have received some donations which is lovely and thank you acknowledgments have been sent.
The lottery, organised by Donna, is going well. Lottery tickets are just £1 a week and 50p from EVERY £1 ticket you buy will be returned to TAG. You can win up to £25,000 every week, as well as great non-cash prizes. If you want to take part go to www.onelottery.co.uk and search for Arthrogryposis Group.
We have not been able to plan any events for the year now, but fingers crossed we may be able to later once the Covid situation eases. Maybe something in the summer.
This brings me to our Family weekend currently booked for May 1st – 2nd. Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty of what is going to happen when Boris will be opening the hospitality industry, members still apprehensive to travel and meet up etc the trustees have, once again come to the decision to postpone this event. We have pencilled in with the hotel for October 23rd – 24th, we shall of course confirm this as soon as we can.
As far as the AGM goes, we are looking to hold this virtually via Microsoft teams, which is very easy to do. You would be sent a link and it will then take you to the meeting. The date for this will be sent as soon as we have things arranged. On this subject if anybody wishes to put them self forward to become a trustee, we have three members already who will be joining the board, but we would like at least one more, so please think seriously about joining.
For TAG to flourish we need our members to really support us trustees by helping to do fundraising, attend events and give us ideas what you would like to see us do in the next 12 months. You can get in contact with us either privately or by the email help@arthrogryposis.co.uk It is your charity and without the support of you, the members, then the trustees cannot perform our role.
The TAG clinics will still be running with us attending as before, however as with everything else Covid has stopped this and we are in the hands of the hospitals as to when we can return. Rest assured as soon as we know anything, we will let you know.
Kind Regards
Vicki Adey
on behalf of the trustees
