East Midlands Support Group

The East Midlands Support Group was formed by Jan Ashenden, Irene Allen and David Butcher in 2007. The Group met in April, July and November 2007 at Loughborough Baptist Church, Baxtergate Loughborough but with falling numbers attending it was agreed to abandon the group and offer telephone and email support only.

Many people have recently expressed a wish to attend a meeting so that they can meet other people with TM, I have now arranged for a meeting as follows:

Saturday 17th April 2010, from 2 – 4 pm at Stanton village Hall, Near Burton-on-Trent.
Details for the venue are as follows:
The village hall is on the A444 between Burton-on-Trent and Overseale. The postcode for the hall is DE15 9TJ

 From Burton/ Derby direction; take the A444 signposted to Nuneaton. There are speed cameras along this road which are often active!
You will pass a Murco garage on the left, next door to the Happy Chef restaurant. You will go around a sharp bend, and at the bottom of the hill on the right is Woodland Car Sales. The village Hall is opposite - the turn into the car park is before the bend.
 
From A42 / M42, Ashby de la Zouch, Nuneaton; once you get onto the A444 you will get to the village of Overseale. (The church should be on your right and the Robin Hood pub on the left). Carry on straight at the first roundabout. At the second roundabout take the second turning, almost immediately there will be a large furniture store (Toons) on your left. Carry straight on at the third roundabout. The speed cameras start on this stretch!!
At the traffic lights (Stanton nurseries on your left) go straight on. The primary school is at the bottom of the hill on the right - the village hall is next to it, the turning into the car park is just around the bend. Woodland Car sales are opposite.

 
Anyone who has been diagnosed with TM, Adem, Devics, (and associated conditions) and any members of their families / carers are welcome to attend.
  
This meeting has the aim of getting to know other people with the condition; establishing where we should meet in the future and how often we should have meetings; What we all expect from the meetings (do we want to have speakers?). I would appreciate hearing from anyone who thinks that they know of a different meeting venue, should this one not prove to be convenient.
