For the first time since the pandemic we will be holding our 2nd Friday of the Month meeting face to face. We will be meeting at Alexandria Park, Edgeley on the benches by the water and next to the car park. The park is on 11, 368 and several other bus routes and there is usually space in the car park too as well as some on-street parking nearby.
As usual everyone is welcome whether you have ME/CFS, Long Covid, Fibro or a related condition. Carers and family/friends are also very welcome. We do expect people who attend more than 1 or so events in a year to be current members. Membership lasts a year from October to September. Free memberships are always available to anyone who wants one, no questions asked.
If the weather makes an outdoor meeting inappropriate then we will instead meet at the Starbucks in Cheadle on the High street. We will update the website and post on Facebook if we are going with Starbucks as our plan B.
At time of writing we could do with a couple more volunteers for the event. I finish work at 10.45am so wont be able to get to the event early to meet anyone who comes early ( as new people often do) and it will be more like 11.15 by the time I could get to Cheadle. I expect we will have sorted out volunteers over the next week or so but if you are interested and able to help then please get in touch. All a volunteer would need to do is get to the venue ideally by 10.30am, welcome anyone and help create an inclusive environment and explain anything about the group that someone might ask.
