Support Groups

[JanieJ]

Hi, are there any support group around Oxford or in Buckinghamshire?

[BeansMummy]

I have no idea, but am in North Oxfordshire, and would very much like to know!

[JanieJ in reply to BeansMummy]

Well BeansMummy, if no one comes forward in the worst case scenario we could always try to get one going?

[JanieJ in reply to BeansMummy]

Hi, it has been suggested trying to arrange a meet to set up a support group near Waterperry Garden Centre in March, for both Oxon and South Bucks members, would this be of interest to you, is it close enough?

[BeansMummy in reply to JanieJ]

I would very definitely be interested, yes.

[JanieJ in reply to BeansMummy]

What day and time would suit you best?

[BeansMummy in reply to JanieJ]

Have sent you a pm

[potnoodle]

This is my area too so watching this thread. :0)

[JanieJ in reply to potnoodle]

Hi, we are trying to set up a support group with a first meeting in March at Waterperry Garden Centre or nearby if this would be of any interest to you?

[Hennerton]

I am in South Oxfordshire, bordering South Bucks and would be interested if a group is started in this area.

[JanieJ]

Hi, Hennerton that's good to know and it sounds as though you could be close to me as I am also in the same region. Nothing has come up so far other than someone from North Oxon but it would be useful to have a local support group, so am also interested if one were to be started up. Will keep in touch.

[Hennerton in reply to JanieJ]

Hi janiej

Are you near Henley or Marlow?

[JanieJ in reply to Hennerton]

Hi, either are fine for me, Marlow is the closest.

[Hennerton in reply to JanieJ]

It seems we are the only two at the moment. It is difficult to suit everybody. I also feel this thread is probably not checked by people after the initial posts, so not everyone sees the new ones. Seems to be a fault of the system that posters are not automatically advised of messages from new posters, or is that just the way I see it on my iPad?

[MrsQwerty]

Hi, I am also in South Bucks and would love to join a group in this area.

[JanieJ in reply to MrsQwerty]

Hi there are you still interested in a support group in Bucks/South Oxon area. I small trying to organise an initial meeting to discuss the logistics of this and have several interested people, so please come back to me if you round like to be included. Many thanks, Jane

[Ruthi]

I'm in Berkshire, but would travel!!!!

[humanbean in reply to Ruthi]

Same here.

[JanieJ in reply to humanbean]

Hi, I you still interested in coming to an initial meeting with the view to setting up a support group in the oxon/bucks/ berks area. We have several people interested so far so please let me know if you would like to be included. Many thanks, Jane

[humanbean in reply to JanieJ]

Yes, I would be interested, but it would depend on where it was being held. I can manage early - mid afternoon any week day.

[JanieJ in reply to Ruthi]

Hi Ruthi,

I am trying to set up a meeting with the aim of setting up a support group for Bucks/Oxon etc in March. Waterperry Garden Centre or nearby has been suggested, would this be any good to you and also I should ask what days and time would be good for you?

[chrisg4]

Also in South Bucks and interested.

[JanieJ in reply to chrisg4]

Hi are you still interested in a meeting with the aim of trying to set up a support group in the oxon- bucks area? Several people have expressed an interest so if you would like to be included please let me know. Many thanks, Jane

[Hennerton]

A few people are interested so we need to establish a location which is reasonably convenient for all. Is anyone familiar with Henley on Thames?

[potnoodle]

That'd be too far away for me personally.

[Hennerton in reply to potnoodle]

What would be good for you?

[MrsQwerty]

Marlow/Henley would be very convenient for those of us in South Bucks but does seem quite a way for people in north Oxfordshire.

I have just had a look at google maps, what about somewhere like Waterperry gardens, near Wheatly just of the M40 at Oxford services. Would somewhere like that that be more central for most people?

[JanieJ]

That's fine for me too.

[MrsQwerty]

Hi JanieJ

Would you like to go ahead and arrange a date at Waterperry for some time in March? Hopefully this might also suit others on this thread. I think if we go ahead with a Bucks/Oxfordshire support group then in time other people will join in.

[JanieJ in reply to MrsQwerty]

Hi Mrs Qwerty,

I have messaged all who responded and am suggesting Waterperry Garden Centre sometime in March and am waiting for replies. What day and time would suit you?

[JanieJ]

Hi Mrs Qwerty,

Sounds good to me, I can make most days except Thursdays. I've been a bit out of it the past few days but I will message each member that has expressed an interest and ask what days/eve would suit if that helps.

[Ruthi]

I would love to come. Afternoons are best for me, any day but Wednesdays.

My granddaughter will be in the JR having a big op, so I can combine visits and be dead the next day!

[Bobalob]

Hi there

Are there any current groups in Marlow area. I am happy to travel if not.
