      Great!  It wouldn't be the same without our sparklin and her sparkles, not to mention Gordy's lovely biscuits.  In fact, I was wondering about bringing some extras as we're expecting so many people.  Shall definitely be bringing along extra milk for the cuppas!

      Yes, as stella-dk has replied (many thanks Stella!), Chertsey is a small Thames-side town in the county of Surrey situated in the South East of England, and just outside London.  The Surrey Support Group is just one of more than a dozen such groups operating in the UK under the auspices of the Charity, PMRGCAuk, where those with PMR and/or GCA can get together in support of each other, often with guests speakers from the medical profession, including speakers in alternative therapies,.  The North East of England Group that you will often read about on this forum is also a Charity in its own right, as is the large, and the original group, that covers Scotland. It would be wonderful if those of you overseas had something similar running in your countries but meanwhile at least we are all blessed to have wonderful forums such as this, and at least another two that cover the PMR and GCA communities.
