PAI WEEKEND AWAY FEBRUARY 26-28, 2010

The next of these popular weekends is going to take place in the Radisson Blu hotel in Athlone. Booking forms available with the present issue of the PAI magazine "PARKINSON'S IRELAND", or from the office or click HERE to download. The programme for this event is going to be different! Two medical speakers Saturday morning with time for questions, will be followed in the afternoon by Ed Rice, our Special Projects Director, who promises the following:

'Ed Rice will hold an informative, entertaining and hopefully useful demonstration of what can be colourfully described as: 'Cheap Brain Stimulation'.
*Your web editor has had the Deep version!

Using everything from Video, to Music to Stories to Photos and more - Ed will demonstrate simple, inexpensive and clever ways that people with Parkinson's can trigger energy and excitement in their own brains - and in the brains of those around them - on a daily basis.

The session will last for 90 minutes - but the follow up afterwards will be an ongoing project that the Parkinson's Association of Ireland are rolling out in 2010. So arrive alert, enthused and ready for something a bit different...'
- With this programme, plus dancing to the Shannonside Jazz Band on the Friday and a C and W Band on the Saturday, places will go fast so early booking is strongly advised.
