FUND-RAISING QUIZ NIGHT AT THE SUN
After a three year break, The Friends ran a fund-raising quiz night at The Sun in Dunsfold on 4th March. About 90 people enjoyed the challenge and a hot meal. Thanks to all at The Sun for looking after us! And thanks to everyone who came for their support. We raised almost £1,300.

The Surgery’s performance
“As I’m sure you know there has been quite a lot of criticism over the past months of local surgeries failing to serve their patients properly and in particular not providing enough face to face appointments. Chiddingfold Surgery has not been immune to this and many of the allegations seem to be based on mischievous rumour mongering. I am aware that one or two neighbouring surgeries have been failing to give a satisfactory service; however, as Friends of the Chiddingfold Surgery, we are naturally concerned that we are being tarred with the same brush and have discussed it with Dr Watts. From what he has told us, and the statistics he has given us, we are quite sure that Chiddingfold Surgery has been working very hard within the restrictions imposed by Covid and have provided the best service possible. I won’t give any more facts here about what the Surgery has achieved at this difficult time but please contact me at fcs@chidders.co.uk if you would like to have further details.”
Simon Inchbald, Chairman of the Friends.
