Support Meeting Summary Letter – September 2017
Hi All I started us with an update on the get togethers. Given that previous attempts to encourage branches to arrange sessions have not been successful, I will propose the following to the branches. Ice-breakers to start with followed by the option of 2 activities: another music session from Jo Humphreys and Tai Chi.

A charity ball was held on 8 September in aid of Headway and the National Autistic Society.

Paul said that he had a great time playing the harmonica. There were lots of smiling faces. There was general agreement that the icebreakers in the initial session got people from different groups talking to each other. People felt that it was enjoyable and that it worked well. Rodger said that maybe the next get together would consist of an icebreaker session, a music session and a Tai Chi … [Read more...]
