Namaste ,
Rugby branch is very pleased to report on another successful and memorable year . The work of the committee , together with the support of the membership , is something which we can all be really proud .
The highlights from 2013 are :
A Bollywood themed dinner and dance was held at the end of the year to celebrate 100 years of Indian Cinema . Guests were entertained with an evening of lively Bollywood hits from the decades by the live band “ Music Lovers ”.
A magnificent £ 1,000 was raised in aid of the Hospital of St Cross Rugby ( UHCW ) Charity . Guest speaker Paula Rose from the hospital described the role of UHCW Charity and how the donations they receive are used to make a real difference to local people by funding equipment and facilities for the Hospital of St Cross that the NHS cannot afford .
We are delighted to report that the hospital used our donation to purchase a Coaguchek ; a machine used to check a patient ’ s International Normalised Ratio ( INR ). This will be used by the Haematology and Endoscopy departments .
The INR is a measure of how readily a patient ’ s blood will form clots . The test is recognised globally and is instantly recognisable to all healthcare
The branch participants did the town proud once more !
