**ATTENTION** Summer Get Together 13 July

[luluj]

This is for all the new recruits to the forum and for those who have missed over the last few weeks - time has come to put out a posting for the last time for any new takers for the FF Summer get together on Saturday July 13th.
It will be held at my house in Dunstable, Bedfordshire.(2 minutes from Junction 11 of the M1).

Melanie will kindly fund the food and drink for the evening so the only cost you will have is your fuel / transport costs and possible hotel costs if you decide to stay overnight.

There is a Premier Inn, called Dunstable / Luton (postcode LU5 4LL) about half a mile from my house connected to a Beefeater restuarant(Halfway House)...walking distance or a very short taxi ride.
In addition another Premier Inn just off Junction 9 of the M1 (approx 4 miles from my house), Holiday Inn, Dunstable and Luton South and The Highwayman Hotel, also within 3 miles of the house.

The evening is an opportunity for forum members to come together and to get to know others in similar circumstances - you can choose to discuss your stuation or not as the case may be - it is an informal social evening that has created many friendships over the years outside of life in an IVA - a good opportunity to share ways of managing and living life to the full whilst in an IVA and meeting some of the experts that post on the forum.

The evening is restricted to forum members and their partners as we only have a certain amount of space in the house, especially if it's wet.

We already have 17 confirmed names which is excellent and a big increase on previous years - let's hope the weather is kind - looking forward to making new friends ! Still room for a few more so if you would like to come drop a response on here then in a week or so's time I will arrange with admin to email you the finer details on timings and address etc.

We would live to come, but my husband is still ill and no improvement since his Pulmonary Embolism last July

Sorry to hear that .... Maybe things will have improved by the christmas event.
