Norwich get-together

It was lovely to meet in Norwich this afternoon so many local people who are all dealing with PMR/GCA. Thanks to all for coming. We were there to meet others in our tribe and conversation bubbled quickly and really enjoyably. We’re going to repeat the event and meet monthly, except in December. There’s no formal structure - taking one step at a time … where have I heard that before? More details anon.

There were 12 of us all together. Really good to talk to people who know exactly what you’re going through. 😊

That is brilliant for a first go!!! It will vary but you have a good base there - and hopefully your successful start will encourage others in areas where they are lacking a support group.
