Update on our Chairman

A message from the Side Saddle Secretary to update us on our Chairman Janet Senior.

“Janet has asked that she still receives no direct communication for the time being as she needs to rest and has good days and bad days. She had a setback this week when she went in for her appointment and was told that her recovery time was likely to be 9 to 12 months with no complications and she has no idea of when she will have the  operation that will be required.
