THE latest community news from Llanidloes

Christmas party 

ONLY Legs patients, volunteers, members and friends went to Maesmawr for their annual Christmas Party.

Thanks were given to Shirley and Lisa for their hard work and dedication to the club.

A short description of the club’s activities during the past year was given and it was announced that membership is now two short of 500.

There was also thanks to driver Dan and Celtic. It was good to see 101-year-old Fred had joined in and the help and kindness by the management and staff at Maesmawr.

Thanks to Mori for organising the outings and apologies from Ellie Lindsay OBE, founder of the Lindsay Leg Club foundation and Kevin and Andy, reps for Medi UK, unable to attend due to other commitments.

Lindy ended with looking forward to a successful eighth year for Legs in 2018.
