Support group update

[mercury]

Hi all
I now have my Diabetes UK starter pack, spoke to a very nice lady in their office today, very constructive it was too. Meeting with someone from Town hall tomorrow to discuss a room for meetings. Hope to hold first meeting on 14th November (World Diabetes Day ) Now just got to get my posters distributed. Will keep all informed as to progress.

Got my hall booked through till April. First meeting will be Wed 14 November, (World Diabetes day), How appropriate is that? Will post more details in the events thread.

Have you contacted your local newspaper, perhaps they might run a little article for the new support group or at least put it in their 'what's on' section...

[mercury]

hi jopar

yes I spoke to a reporter yesterday and he said the paper will do a feature on diabetes. He will also come to the first meeting with a photographer. Thanks for your suggestion.

To follow-up Jo's excellent suggestion, have you thought about local radio giving your meeting a mention?

[mercury]

Thanks noblehead all suggestions much appreciated. will give them a call too.

[mercury]

Called radio station and their happy to help. Thanks again noblehead

[noblehead]

Just hope that after all the advertising you have a big enough room for the meeting

[mercury]

I have that in hand too. within the town hall there is a larger room i can use at short notice. I don't want to start limiting anyone from coming. the more the merrier.

Well done you, on a roll.

[mercury]

Thanks for your all your support, if people round my way are as supportive I won't have any problems

[mercury]

Just gone round the town putting up my posters for first meeting. all going well so far
