We are writing to correct any misunderstanding which may have arisen from the piece in the last issue regarding Springfield Surgery Patients Group.

Let us start by saying that we are grateful for the energy, enthusiasm, and creativity which the group have shown.  We hope that we will all be better off for their efforts.  However, it is possible that a mistaken impression could be gained from the edited article as the statement regarding the collection of donation forms from the surgery was incorrect. We must emphasise that while we hope to work in harness with the group, they are and must remain independent of the surgery.  In particular, any fund-raising which they engage in to provide equipment to enhance our services must be entirely separate from the surgery.

It would not be proper for us to act as agents in soliciting funds from our patients.  We will, of course, co-operate in any way we can with the group, and wish them well in their efforts to assist in improving our services.  We look forward to meeting all who are interested on the 20^th of May.

The Doctors and Staff of Springfield Surgery.

The editor apologises for assuming in the last issue that these forms would be available for collection from the surgery.

The appeal is to raise funds, the initial objective being purchase of a defibrillator. Forms can be collected from either the Chemists in Milford Road or the Newsagent in Thursley Rd.

Do you have any accessories which you no longer have and no longer need?

We would love them for a stall at St James' Spring Fair.

There will be a box at the back of the church form Sunday 2nd April for your items or give them to Beryl Prince, Trish Lowton, Barbara Bartlett or Hazel Craig.
