 Dear All
We will be celebrating our tenth birthday at our next meeting on 19th February. Instead of having a speaker we are all going to share our experiences of living with lung disease and the ways we have found to overcome problems. So, all of you have a big think, and make notes, of some things to bring to the meeting. I am sure we can all learn a lot from each other. This is for carers too, as you too are affected by the consequences of lung disease – it’s a life changing experience for all of us.
It’s time to start advertising the abseil again this year. I will bring some posters and application forms along to the next meeting and I am sure you will all help to display them in shops, pubs and clubs in the area. We always have such a good turnout each year and I am sure we will have the same success this year as well. So far we have raised £44,350 – it would be great if we could reach £50,000 in our tenth year as it is our tenth abseil too. For those of you receiving this by email, I have attached a poster. I would be most grateful if you could display this in your workplace, local shop, or another place where it will be seen by many. Thank you !
I hope you are all managing to survive in this awful weather – Doug is down the garden right now salvaging what he can from a garden shed and the greenhouse, one blown over in the wind and the other with a load of broken glass.  What a mess ! But our daffodils are out early, which always make us smile. They are such cheerful flowers, promising warmer weather to come.

Best wishes
Margaret
