I am one of the founding members of the regular Bristol informal lunch meet-ups at Browns which started over 2 years ago and has been extremely enjoyable and beneficial for me. However, as I’m based over the bridge in South Wales I’m finding the driving back and forth to Bristol increasingly tiring now and can’t always make the meetings.Although I very much want to keep going when I can I wondered if there might be any interest in starting something in Cardiff or Newport(I’m 25 mins drive from each)maybe even Browns in the Hayes in Cardiff.
If anybody is interested in meeting for coffee or lunch(or both!)and a chat let me know and it would be great to set something up in Wales.In Bristol we started off as a group of ladies with secondaries but we have a number of ladies coming now with primaries too and I think it would be nice to include anyone who would like to come and feels comfortable. I’ve been living with breast cancer for 8 years and secondaries for 3 and have been stable since Nov 2008 and enjoy making the most of every day.
Let me know what you think and it would be nice to meet more people this side of the bridge!
