Purton & Green Gable Surgery
Patient Group (PSPG)
For the patients in Purton, Cricklade and surrounding communities
News about the Patient Group
We have been incredibly fortunate to welcome several new members to the PSPG Committee following our local advertisements and ‘away days’. They will join the existing members to take the group forward in future months and we look forward to working alongside them and receiving new ideas! So welcome to Pat Hughes, Tracey Coombs and Susan Giles. I am sure many of you will already know one, if not several, of them already. They all live locally and have been patients of Purton and Green Gable Surgery for many years.
200 Club
It’s that time of year when the annual renewal for the 200 Club comes around. The new year begins in September. If you already pay by Standing Order your renewal will automatically go through. Thank you! Please contact Mickie Hall (mickiehall2020@gmail.com) if you are unsure.
New members to the 200 Club are always very welcome. It’s never too late to join! It costs just £15 a year, paid by standing order. Every month, we award two prizes—one of £100 and another of £15. All surplus goes toward buying equipment for the surgeries that the NHS does not supply. Please enquire at either surgery reception if you wish to join.
Our latest lucky winners, drawn by receptionist Suzanne are:
First prize of £100 to Katherine Gill (number 198)
Second prize of £15 to Clive Heard (number 39)
Many congratulations!
Tabletop /Book donations
Please hand in any good quality books and items for sale at the surgeries. Again, funds raised through these donations provide all the ‘extras’ needed. Thank you for your donations to both!
Harvest Tombola
Sylvia Freemantle has once again kindly offered to support us in raising funds for items needed at the surgeries. We will be holding a Harvest Tombola on October 3rd to coincide with the Autumn ‘flu vaccination ‘clinic date. Details to follow but if you have any in date, sealed food items that you wish to donate for the event please drop these off at Sylvia’s house (opposite Purton Surgery) or at either surgery receptions.
Easter Raffle
Thank you to all the surgery staff (especially Dee) for their magnificent efforts in raising £632 from the Easter Raffle- and to you for buying the tickets!

Please bring the ticket with you on the evening.
