Are there any Diabetes Support Forums meets apart from Glasgow & Cheltenham ?
 
I only know what's on the forum. I've not spotted anything.
Anyone wants to meet up in the West Yorkshire area?
Saturdays can be Really busy. Sundays can be quieter and easier to get into places.
 
I think it's a case of individual members setting up meet ups depending on interest/demand.

Has it changed Mark ? There used to be lists up. I know Glasgow has just been on & Cheltenham soon. I just would like to plan my time off a little while I can. 🙂
 
Well, historically, 90% of the meets seemed to be organised by Northerner. But he is busy with his house move and it's a lot of work to arrange those meets (when occasionally few turn up).

It's always been the case that individual forum members can propose meets as well.

Why not propose one and see who wants to come?

The Glasgow and the Cheltenham meets were arranged by a group of members who realised they were in the same area and fancied a meet up. It's just a case of picking a date and a venue, then coordinating arrival times. I think these member-arranged meets may be better attended, because picking fixed dates and places for the whole year isn't always flexible enough to ensure they are at the best times and in the best places for nearby members to attend.

Thanks very much u2. I just missed out going to Glasgow & now I am on the hunt :D. I am sure there was talk about another in the North 😎
 
If anyone wants to meet up in Essex, I don't mind arranging something, I am in the South of Essex, on the borders of London Borough of Havering, and near the Dartford Crossing, so could also accommodate people wanting to come form some areas of London or Kent. It would have to be on a Saturday though. Apart from when I am on holiday I only have 3 Saturdays booked up for the rest of this year, so open to suggestions on dates.

Generally I can do anywhere in Essex. Although on a Saturday I wouldn't be able to get there until the afternoon as the little one does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on Saturday mornings...

Afternoon would be fine for me, as I try and do my Saturday run at 9am, so by the time I get home and procrastinate for a while it is nearly lunchtime before I do anything else. Let us see if we get anymore interest in an Essex meet up.
 
I could do Essex, although am now on Suffolk/Norfolk border
 
There was talk about meet in Carlisle this Friday. Is it still on ? 😉
 
I'm willing to organise a meet up in Cardiff if anyone's interested?

Hi Hobie, I have message @SadhbhFiadh to see if she is still coming to Carlisle on Friday. Will get back to you.
 
"Boarder Reivers" at Carlisle this fri ? Can be there in 1.30 mins 😉
 
What about another Glasgow meet but a Saturday so others can come if they are weekday workers.
