SPEAKERS

We are currently working to get speakers booked for all of the meetings in 2015. Any suggestions from group members for people they have found helpful would be welcome and we will try to contact them to see if they are able to speak at the meetings.

FACEBOOK PAGE

The facebook page is now live and called Medway Fibromyalgia Support Group. Now the Facebook page has more members we will be arranging a catch up through this during February (date to be confirmed). If anyone does not have access to Facebook and would like to come please email the group email address and we will contact you with the arrangements. Any suggestions as to what people would like from the facebook page please see either Pat or Susan.

LIBRARY BOOKS & DVDs

Please ensure that you return all Library items at the next meeting after they have been borrowed as others may be waiting for them. If you are unable to do this please contact the Librarian. We have recently purchased new books for the library with updated information and these will be available from the January meeting.

RAFFLE PRIZES

Thank you to everyone who brought some prizes for the raffle in November. As Christmas has been and gone if anyone got any unwanted gifts they are able to donate they would be most appreciated.

MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS

It is that time of year again where we ask for confirmation that you still wish to receive newsletters from the group. Please therefore complete the attached form and return as instructed. Following the recent changes to the group we would also like to take the opportunity to update everyone’s details and whether they would like to receive the newsletter by post or email, whichever suits YOU best. Don’t forget to complete the gift aid form too if this applies. Donations are not compulsory but, we are a registered charity and do rely on donations to run the group and allow us to update library books, hire the meeting hall and print newsletters etc. If you are able to make a donation, no matter how small, please either return it with your form or hand it in at the next meeting. Cheques to be made payable to Fibromyalgia Support Group Medway and can be sent to 134 Scott Avenue, Rainham, Kent, ME8 8EH.

Lastly, the committee would just like to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year.
