Fingers crossed Lyn x Hi Lyn, Thanks!! I'm hoping it goes well too, have a few new members planning to turn up :) I Thought I'd replied to this already :( I did post it to HU, but I think it soon got buried under the other traffic on there. Take care!! Jo. x 2012 Fundraising for the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/RoboJo

Just wish the meetings started a bit later, it's impossible to get back from work in Dudley across to Kings Heath by 6pm, otherwise I'd consider attending.  Nicola

Jo. Hi Jo Something closer to 7pm to be honest but if they're two hour meetings, I suppose that may be too late for many. I know how I feel many evenings. Thanks Nicola

Hi folks We're currently looking at introducing Birmingham NRAS group meetings at a second location for 2012 and are looking to gauge what demand there might be. There has already been an encouraging number of people on the north side of Birmingham to investigate this further. These meetings would be in addition to the current meetings held in south Birmingham at alternating venues. We're currently looking at holding the meetings in Sutton Coldfield, on alternate months to enable people from surrounding area's that may just be outside of Birmingham the possibility of attending. If anyone is interested can they leave a reply here, or register interest on the current poll on the Birmingham NRAS group Facebook page or with the NRAS office. https://www.facebook.com...S-Group/119713024805219
Thanks :) Jo. x EDIT - Post edited to clear up any confusion :) It won't be a new group, but an expansion of the area covered by the current Birmingham group. Apologies for any confusion caused2012 Fundraising for the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/RoboJo

Great idea Jo; it's something we too need to consider for the future as the Fylde Coast is such a large area. It will be interesting to see how you go with this Lyn x
