I have taken on the role of organising Port Solent local group for PMRGCAuK in the last couple of days. Hope lots of you can make this meet up. I will be in my wheelchair after recent hip replacement surgery. Mr Beevor will be introducing the Personal Care Scheme.....lots to learn about.

Photo is view from my “resting” chair.....enforced since surgery 4 weeks ago today.....but not for much longer. Allowed out in the world twice a week! from now on.

What a fabulous view!

Noted this when you posted it. I'm close by but wasn't sure if I'd be up to it. Feeling very tired the last couple of days and very fuzzy minded, wouldn't be able to do it justice I'm afraid. Do you know if the results will be published? they might be interesting.

Good luck if you manage to go, a wheelchair might be the most comfortable seat there.

[Valnvaughan in reply to scats]

Do not know if any results will be published. I will pick up any handouts in more than 1 copy if I can. I will contact you after to let you know. However, be aware everyone attending is unwell to varying degrees. If tomorrow you get up and feel OK, come along.

The next meeting of the local group on January 14th will just be coffee and chat, if you fancy that. I’ll post detail nearer the time.

Thanks, hope all goes well. I have wondered about the group meetings, there is one in Chichester too which is nearer but I have never been comfortable in social situations and have yet to find the courage. Perhaps one day... thanks for the offer.

[Valnvaughan in reply to scats]

Would you like to talk on the phone first? Everyone who attends local group is friendly, but you could always bring a plus 1.

Very kind of you I'll keep it in mind.
