I agree. The previous 2 events were excellent - informative, well organised and delivered. Highly recommended.

Diabetes Wellness Day North East

Thanks for those encouraging comments everyone. It's great to see that you are looking forward to this year's event. We've got a great day planned, with some really different talks. Professor Shaw is one of our funded researchers, so we are looking forward to seeing him again, we have Alice and her hypo awareness dog Holly talking about their experience. We'll have some belly laughing fun with Pam. I've done her workshop before, it's quite exerting, so be prepared for a bit of a workout 🙂 The Roaring Mouse Drama group are doing a specially commissioned play for us around diabetes and the World War One centenary and there will be lots of other info on hand. Claire and I are looking forward to coming up to Hartlepool again and seeing you all. If anyone wants to book a place and hasn't yet, there is still time. The details are on our website with a link to a printable registration form www.drwf.org.uk/UpcomingEvents or just give me a call on 023 92 636133 and I can take your details over the phone. See you in a couple of weeks.

Laughter Yoga

We're really looking forward to welcoming Pam Medhurst to the Diabetes Wellness day. Pam is coming all the way from Hull to be with us and her happiness workshops and laughter yoga sessions are great fun. I can't wait for everyone to join is and exercise their chuckle muscles 😛:D🙂

What the dog nose...

We're also looking forward to meeting Alice Halstead and her hypo-awareness dog Holly. Alice has brittle diabetes and was paired up with Holly through the charity Medical Detection Dogs. We've worked with them many times in the past, given talks for each other and supported each others events. They do great work and we can't wait for you to hear all about it.

Am looking forward to the Yoga bit ! Me legs don't bend like they used to in my windsurfin days. Should be good 😎
 
Legs

I know the feeling Hobie, my poor knees don't like much bending either 😱, thankfully most of Pam's class is done standing 🙂
 
Hartlepool Mail

Look out for our article in tomorrow's Hartlepool Mail. I think the Roaring Mouse Drama Group have one in there too.
 
Very good event today. Met some lovely people & three excellent shows. Enjoyed the laughing yoga. Good side shows & gadgets. Well run event ! 🙂🙂
