Hi everyone just a note to let you all know next group meeting is 20th May at 1pm looking forward to meeting you. Gina and Karen

Hello Everyone
Last night we had our very first committee meeting and now have a core of dedicated volunteers. A total of six people attended and least three others would have come except for last minute issues. So we have at least nine people to help out and we hope more people will come along to the meetings on Monday afternoon and join in.

If you want to pop in between 1pm and 3pm on a Monday afternoon for a chat or a cup of tea we would be very happy to see you - and you don,t have to volunteer for anything !

Today the local information magazine "The Villager"  issue 90 April 2013 came out with our entry in the "Whats On" page, so our message is getting about slowly.
You can see more about The Villager at their web site  www.villagermag.com

At last the group is getting underway and we  are looking forward to the committe meeting next week.
A nice article in the Biggleswade Chronicle on Friday 5th April sets the background and has given us some good publicity. We have had some contacts from this already. Also thanks to Richard who runs "Biggleswade Online" a web site blogg with local community  news and interest  - worth a look.

New Support Group Starts in Biggleswade

Introduction
The Biggleswade cancer Support Group (BCSG) is voluntary self help
organisation. It provides a place for people to give and receive both emotional
and practical support as well as to exchange information. It is open to people
with cancer and cancer related health conditions, as well as their friends and
families.
Purpose
The support group is made up of people with common experiences. People who
have been through, or are going through, a similar circumstance who can do
more than sympathize with you — they can relate to what you are going
through. It is a place where people can meet and share information, get
confirmation that their feelings are "normal," educate each other, or just feel
part of something instead of being alone.
The additional benefits of joining our group is that we aim to make it a great
place to find practical advice and resources. The group will seek to provide
access to information about non medical complimentary therapies, such as
aromatherapy and relaxation.
Meetings.
The group meets for two hours every two weeks on Thursday afternoon at the
community room at the Biggleswade Baptist Church, London road Biggleswade.
This a central location with a nearby bus stop and plenty of free parking. It is a
short walk from the railway station and town centre.
