Circle D Clarifications

Hi Hobie,

Thanks for filling in Steff hehe...I'm afraid I don't get on here much sadly.

Yes Circle D is totally seperate from this forum and something I started four years ago for 18-30's with diabetes. However each 'circle d birthday' this age bracket gets opened to all ages as over the years I have met fabulous D people younger and older than our age bracket so is nice to include all once a year 🙂

There are a few other Circle D groups around the UK (if anyone is interested in setting one up, please speak to me first as I like people to be aware of that they are taking on and have a few rules etc - please don't just start one!)

-Circle D Norwich - 18-30's
-Colchester Circle D - mainly familys with kids with the D but opens out to other brackets
-Circle D Scotland - 18-30's
-and my group Circle D Kent 18-30's.

If anyone is interested in possibly setting up a group please contact me through the Circle D website on www.circledrocks.co.uk

Please check out the four year event too as it will be lots of fun! It has been held in London the previous two years but this has made it harder for Kent members to attend so am holding it in Kent this year. I'm so excited!!

D love...

Shelley x x x
 
Shelley, where abouts in Kent is the event? I'm not on Facebook.
 
Thanks Alan.
 
Have a great day at "Teapot Island" & well done for setting this type of thing up ! If i lived near i would be there ! 😎
 
Thanks Northe for answering on my behalf 🙂 Even if you don't have facebook you should be able to view the event though by clicking the link I sent? Unless I am going mad? can a non-facebook person clairfy?

The venue is basically an hour out of London on a train with one change, and then a 10 minute walk. So it's do-able if you can get to London...

Thanks Hobie...hope to meet you another time!

Circle D 4yr Birthday ROYAL GALA - ALL AGES WELCOME
Saturday, 5 May 2012
12:00 until 17:00
Teapot Island - Hampstead Lane, Yalding, Maidstone, Kent. ME18 6HG

DUN...DUN...DUN!! And the Circle D 4 Year Birthday Event is FINALLY announced!

For just ?2 entry per person (money will go towards future Circle D events) you can look forward to a very British afternoon in the Kent country side to celebrate Circle D?s 4 year birthday. It is also a month before the Queens Jubilee so thought would make the theme a bit royal! If you want to wear red white or blue or come a bit fancy dress that is fab, but this is optional!

There will be games, activities, picnic blankets, food and drinks and lots of D fun and socialising ? fun for all ages! Am not going to say everything we have planned so you can have some surprises on the day and fingers crossed for the weather!

All we ask is that you bring some cakes (bought or made) so that we can have an afternoon tea together! How very BRITISH!!

The venue is 1hr on the train from Central London to Yalding (one change at Tonbridge) then ten minute walk or a lovely drive through the countryside (parking ?3 or free if you can get a space near the fishermen). Kent people won?t be as far for you, I suggest we try and arrange car share etc or just get the train if you want to drink!

There is a cafe and a pub serving food at the venue as well as a hotel joined to the pub for anyone wanting to stay. The idea is to have the gala 12-5pm then go to the pub for some food and drinks to carry on until the evening.

The event is NOT strictly 18-30?s - all D ages welcome and partners +1?s welcome. Just let me know roughly so can get an idea of numbers 🙂

Did I mention there is a teapot museum and a lovely river perfect for a stroll to walk off the cakes 🙂

More details about the event nearer the time, but just wanted to get the date out there! So what are you waiting for...hit that ATTENDING button!!!! 🙂

VERY EXCITED!!!

Lots of love...Shelley & Circle D gala organising crew 🙂 x x x
 
Tea Pot Island sounds brill/majic to me. Must be my sence of humor !! 😎
 
Just a lil reminder 🙂..

...thats the Circle D birthday event is only two weeks away 🙂 I have an official guestlist so if you wish to be added pls let me know 🙂 Shelley xxx

I wish you every success and that there was a Midlands group - believe you me, were I not already (apparently, tjough I have absolutely no idea how it happened) 62 years old, I'd be starting one meself.

I was having a convo with my even crustier hubby today about ageing - and saying us 'oldies' are just getting younger aren't we? - it was dead common for folks our age to have all sorts of 'geriatric' illnesses and stuff when I was 20, but now I'm 60 my school mates are still saying they are off skiing, camping, trekking up Kilimanjaro or whatever.

High time I did my Gap year methinks .... ROFL
