Potter - Book Reading) Successful Ageing: the Memory Course The memory course aims to provide information about memory processes and to reduce anxiety about memory problems. This is through helping members to consider common memory problems associated with increasing age, how this can affect activities of daily living and what can be done to prevent or manage such problems. Although we have been over subscribed for our October course it will be some time before we run the course again. By the end of October over 120 members will have been through the course. So the memory course team has decided we need a break. Leaders: Sylvia Dillon and Norma Seddon. Coordinators: Wendy Craddock 01772 600 543 and Ann Haskell 579 569 Read more details about the 'Mindgym' Memory Programme by Alex McMinn Book List: Updates for the website: please contact the webmaster with any comments or updates
