2024 has been an exciting year for NLPD Golf Society, where a strong relationship with Bowring Park has emerged, numbers of players has increased & the bond & health benefits that golf brings to people with Parkinson's is astonishing. The season highlight was a festival of golf, where Bowring Park staged an event where we could celebrate how far we all have come. Congratulations to all who took part.

NLPD & VITAL ENERGI CELEBRATE WALKING FOOTBALL FRIENDSHIP WITH BRILLIANT TOURNAMENT!
On Friday 26th July 2024 in Blackburn, NLPD & Vital Energi
strengthened their relationship as up to 30 players from VE joined around 14 players from Northern Lights & enjoyed a terrific walking football competition. Played in fantastic spirit, NLPD B were crowned the winners, but in truth - we were all winners on the day.
Northern Lights members had a fabulous time at Notgrove in the Cotswolds in June 2024. It was a time to park the Parkinson's to the side & enjoy a lovely relaxed few days with the best kind of company, our NLPD friends / family.
​
We celebrated John T's 70th birthday with a 70s style party (see photos), Doug won the table tennis tournament & June was crowned the Cribbage Queen. A fab time was had by all.
