History:

The Barossa PSA Support Group became the second prostate cancer support group in South Australia when it was established in 1998. As it was the only S.A. regional group for many years it catered for people from a large area, with some having a round trip of more than 100km to attend meetings.

 
Activities:

Monthly meetings were held, most with guest speakers, until 2008 when it was decided to have meetings every second month and to include some afternoon meetings. This is subject to annual review.

Most guest speakers travel from Adelaide, which is about 90km from the Barossa, and address prostate cancer or general health issues. We have also enjoyed speakers on topics like gardening and local history.

Social interaction has been encouraged and each year commences with a dinner meeting and concludes with a pre-Christmas picnic lunch.

Members have received a monthly newsletter since the group’s inception, this year contributing to “Prostate Supporter” together with other S.A. groups. The local newspapers have been very supportive, frequently including articles about prostate cancer and our group’s activities.

Meeting Dates:

Currently 3rd Tuesday of each month. Please enquire regarding venue which has yet to be announced.

Meeting times are 2:00pm to 4:00pm.

 

Website:

As a service we have provided below, a link to this Group's own website. This Group also has copies of newsletters available for downloading.
