Degeneration of the macular results in loss of central vision. It is usually a result of ageing and is the commonest form of sight loss in older people. This group, which is a branch of the national Macular Society, meets on the first Thursday of each month (except January and August) at 1:30 for 2pm in the Central United Reformed Church Café, Chapel Walk off Norfolk Street. New members are most welcome, just come along. For more information please contact Nick Woodford on 0114 236 8971 or Robin Story 0114 236 2251, email: story.robin@yahoo.co.uk
