Hi,

If you look at the PMRGCA website you can find details of all groups. You can also find details of how to set one up if there isn't one locally. It doesn't have to be a full-on organised meeting with speakers, just an informal get together over coffee and a chat works just as well for some people especially at the beginning. You just need someone who is willing to get the others together. I attend 2 groups that are informal and both are held in local garden centre restaurants.

pmrgcasupport.co.uk this website is run by PMRGCA North West just in case you live near.

There is also a support group in the North East, which has some members who live in Cumbria, depends where you actually live.

Dorset Lady has steered you well.

The North Lakes group usually meets in Carlisle but sometimes in Penrith. I used to go to their meetings before the South group got going. The were run under the auspices of the hospital in Carlisle and often had good expert speakers. I found it well worth the hour's journey from Grange over Sands.

If you are in Penrith that will be the one for you. Enjoy!
