November 29th   2 – 4pm  Forum Meeting   ‘Safeguarding the interests of Older People’.  St Paul’s Church Hall (opposite Harrogate Library)

Dr Lincoln Sargeant leads a team of public health specialists and works closely with communities and organisations across the county to assess the overall health of the population of North Yorkshire and monitors progress on improving health. His latest report is on Older People so we have invited him to come and talk about it. He is an excellent speaker, and will answer any questions put to him about public health.

We have also invited Karin Sedgewick who is a County Councillor for Middle Dales Division and also the North Yorkshire’s Older People’s Champion. Karin will tell us about her role, which she has only been in a year, and what it means to us the Older Person.

Admission is £2 which includes refreshments and raffle ticket.

December     6th               Christmas Trip  to York Castle  Museum and Christmas Market

This is an ‘Old Fashion Christmas’ at York Castle Museum. The Victorian Street is decorated in the traditional way, and the Museum is ready for Christmas. After the museum trip you can make your way into York (10 mins walk) were you can have lunch and browse the shopping area, Christmas market or anything else you would like to do or see in York. £10 per person to go to the Castle Museum, £5 for bus only into York. The booking form is in the October issue of ‘The Voice’.

The coach will depart Harrogate Library at 9.30 am and York Place Knaresborough at 9 45 am. Leaving York about 4 pm for the return journey. If you would just like to take the bus into York and do your own thing there is a reduced price.
At this point, the Forum Committee would like to thank Knaresborough Lions very much for giving the Forum a grant towards the coach expenses.
