Wishing all our members a Very Happy New Year with a couple of notices and reminders of what is planned so far this year:-

This draw takes place towards the end of each month. The first prize will be £100 per month (for the first 200 shares sold) and the second prize will be 50% of the additional number of shares sold. Winners will be published on this website and also in the magazines. £12 per share per year. Application forms available at all venues. This is open to family members and supporters as well as Upbeat members.

This is usually a very popular event and places are limited to 70, so if you want to be included, please do not delay. There will be a speaker and a Grand Draw. Plenty of Draw books available to purchase. Details on the application forms.

Strawberry Tea Thursday July 9th - 2pm until 4pm Something different this year!
Because of lack of manpower we will be holding the Strawberry Tea inside this year at Acton Village Hall. We know you all loved the garden at Newton Green Village Hall, but the hall there is just not large enough to accommodate us all eating inside. We have checked the Acton Village Hall and it is very spacious, has plenty of parking and outside space, it even has a Boules Pitch which we can utilise. The kitchen facilities are very good and we hope you will all feel you can support this event. There will be the usual Raffle and plant stall.
The cost will be £12 per ticket and these will be available at the venues nearer the time.
This event has always had widespread support and we are hoping the change of venue will be popular, being nearer to Sudbury/Long Melford. Check them out online - accessible from the small lane adjacent to The Crown Public House, Acton.

ZOOM Meetings Online continue on Friday mornings between 10am - 11am. For anyone who would like to come into the chat, please email: secretary@upbeatheartsupport.org.uk and I can give you the link. Very informal, cosy chat. Bring a cup of tea/coffee and we can talk over recent events/news etc. Stay connected with each other, even if you cannot come to classes.

Generally and Importantly we are extremely short of members who can help with fundraising events. Either to initiate and run their own event on our behalf or, to help with our planned events. Anyone interested please make contact to any member of the committee.
