Edwina Cooper, the Mayoress and I were invited to attend Multiple Sclerosis’ 40th birthday party at St George’s Hall on Saturday afternoon of 15th September. We were met by the organiser of the party, Mrs Ann Tuersley and were introduced to other members of the Society. The Society covers the areas of Newbury, Thatcham and Hungerford and the hall was full of members and friends, many of whom were sufferers of MS.
There were speeches which praised the way the Society had grown over the years and had raised funds to enable the Society to help its members including the provision of transport.
After the speeches, an enormous decorated cake with 40th inscribed on it was brought out and enjoyed by all. We were able to circulate and speak to many of the members and it was very heartening to find so many caring people who were looking after their relatives and friends. The message came over very clearly that more members were needed so those reading this blog might consider joining this wonderful organisation to help them with an increasing number of people suffering from this dreadful illness.
