Paul,

Is the hotel offering special rates for those who are attending?

Thanks in anticipation of your reply.

Hi Tonk ,

I have not been made aware of any discount rate at the hotel I'm afraid.

Received my ticket. Thank you Paul. The talks look really good and I’m looking forward to meeting you and hopefully others from our group here, in person, at last.

Hi netherthong ,

We organise two meetings like this each year (one in May and one in October) and we move them around the country as much as possible to give everyone a chance to attend. At the moment I don't believe there is one planned for Yorkshire, but I believe there is a possibility of us being in the North West (maybe near Manchester) next year?

I'd love to see this in South Wales! (crossing fingers)

Hi Dalilatm ,

It's been a while since one of these events was in South Wales (May 2012 in Cardiff if I remember rightly). Hopefully that means we will be back towards that way before too long. Hopefully we can get the support group started up again there first.

That would be wonderful! Looking forward to it.

Last meeting I went to in Cardiff was in June-July 2016. And, it was really nice to share so much with other people that have the same condition.

Thanks for the reply!
