Retirement 'Do'

Colin Gibson would like to invite all friends and former colleagues for a drink and a 'bite to eat' on 31st Auguat 2010 at Wilton Golf Club from 7.30pm onwards.

Hospital Visits - James Cook University Hospital.

I have been reminded that you can save on parking at the above hospital if the patient you are seeing is going to be on a ward for any length of time.  Instead of paying the astronomical daily rate you can obtain an application form from the ward sister where the patient is being cared for and get a permit for £8 for one month or £17.50 for three months.  The completed form has to be taken to the Transport Office (near the jewellery shop) and a permit is issued.  You also have to hand over a £10 deposit returned when the permit is handed in.

Its a bit of a 'chew' BUT it makes a big saving if you are visiting every day for more than a couple of days.
