Agnes is appointed as new chairman at Parkinson’s AGM

Jim Henry, Branch Chairman for the last four years, relinquished office and was replaced by Agnes McKissock. As he left office Jim thanked the members for the support they had given him, and noted membership had more than doubled and the Branch had donated over £36,000 to research into Parkinson’s.

He expressed good wishes to Agnes and her committee for the future.

Stephen Anderson, Branch Treasurer, for six years also stepped down to be replaced by Eileen Montgomery.

After the elections Professor Cathy Craig from QUB gave a talk and demonstration on research she is conducting on improving balance in people with Parkinson’s.

The Branch meets on the third Monday of the month at 2.30pm in the Lisburn Racquets Centre.
