Over thirty people for the second meeting, with very little publicity, was very encouraging.

The Burnley group has been going for over twenty years, and they attract similar numbers.
This type of group are really an essential part of communicating with people who suffer or have been touched by the disorder, I had similar results when I formed the Hyndburn Branch of the National Asthma Campaign (now Asthma UK) there were over 50 at the first meeting and we regularly had 30+ at subsequent meetings too. Hope your group has continuing success Rindi
