Last nights meeting wasn't the biggest success we hoped for. it was a very low turn out. But we all have to start somewhere. Going to try some extra marketing for next month. I don't give up easily.

Get a striking poster for GP surgeries, newsagents & pharmacies.

Hello mercury.

Try getting permission to advertise in local hospital and clinics .
Especially the eye and foot clinics .

My own local support group got permission to do this.

Most of their regular monthly meetings are at full capacity resulting
from this type of marketing and advertising .
I myself saw the leaflet of the monthly meetings in my eye clinic !
Its all diabetes related ...
Ask at all health and GP centres locally too .
Another idea :idea: for you.

Please dont give up - as with all things we all start off small
to grow bigger gradually and eventually. :thumbup:
Remember the little acorn and the oak tree :D
