THIS WEEK - THURSDAY 14 MARCH
1. President Vinodbhai Parekh, reiterated that the front space around the left and centre of the stage is allocated for mat yoga. This is for health and safety reasons. Members wishing to do chair yoga should always position themselves at the back on the left and centre of the stage. They should not be positioning their chair in the front as this would cause obstructions and risk injury to others.
2. Members were reminded that the mad rush to secure a space in the front row is dangerous and risks the safety of our elderly members. Members should not push/force their chairs in between two chairs already positioned in the first row. Members were urged to exercise courteous behaviour and be aware of others safety.

TABLE LISTS
6. Members were urged to cooperate and follow the instructions given to them for sitting arrangements at events.
· many had put their names on two tables,
· taking the list but neither completing or returning the list. This caused difficulties when allocating table numbers.
· put down your name on the table list only if you have already got the ticket or the token.
· In future, putting down your ticket/token number on table list will be mandatory.

AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES
10. This afternoon we had a team of 4 ladies from HSBC Bank who gave a presentation with slides on FRAUD. They explained about how many of us get phone calls about money been taken out of our account and trick us into giving our pin numbers for our credit/debit cards. Or knocking on our doors as Policemen etc. It was a very educational talk and all of them spoke in Guajarati so it was very interesting and beneficial to our members. Kendra's thanks to the HSBC's team.
