Thank you for your assistance in finding a group but unfortunately I cannot get to Gateshead. I was hoping for a group in Whitley Bay Area , but I find this information on this site is always very interesting and helpful. Being 86 years of age makes it very difficult to travel to Gateshead, thanks again. Pbjr

Here is the link to the northeast charity's website:

If you were able to get there the next meeting will be in Middlesborough - although it is their post-Christmas lunch and I don't know if there were bookings for it. It is a sort of twin set-up but Gateshead also has meetings, as whitleybayfc says, and their next meeting will be Jan 25th, the details are here:

Hello. I live in Gosforth, am 78 and have had GCA for nearly 4 years. Currently going through a major relapse after getting down to 1mg of steroids. Maybe we could chat on fone, meet for coffee?

Thanks for replying, I would find it difficult to get to Gosforth but would like to have a chat on the phone some time.
