Gravitas Garden Party
On Saturday September 20th we were delighted to host a Garden Party in the grounds of Spire Murrayfield Hospital. 150 patients relatives and staff were entertained by a singer, magician and palmist. The weather was exceptional and the occasion was a great success. We had a professional photographer on hand and many people took the opportunity to get their post op pictures updated. A snapshot poll was taken and people present had lost a total of in excess of 300 stones. We extend paticular thanks to Barbara Moore who did an excellent job of organising the entire day.
