Meeting this Weds 8th Feb

By
We'll be meeting this coming Wednesday 8th February at Manchester Carers Centre from 6 - 7:30pm. 

Patrick Cahoon from the newly formed Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (what was Greater Manchester West and Manchester MH Trust combined) is coming to give us an update.

Bridge5Mill is easy to get to from the city centre - it's 5 minutes walk from Holt Town metrolink stop. There is parking on most streets around the Mill from 6pm.

Directions for travelling by tram, on foot, by bike, bus and car are all available on the Bridge 5 Mill website here http://www.merci.org.uk/d rupal/visiting. As car parking isn't free until 6pm, as ever you're welcome to stroll in after 6 so you can get parked up without any bother.

We'll be starting the meeting with a cuppa and a biscuit - hope to see you there!

Social events in the pipeline...

  • Spring social meet up. Coffee (or drink of your choice!) and cake at Ziferblat cafe on Edge Street, Manchester, 10:30am, Thursday 16th March. If you'd like to come, could you let me know by our March meeting so I can plan numbers. Thanks. Ziferblat website: http://www.ziferblat.co.uk/edgestmanchester.html 
  • Folk Train (see http://www.hvhptp.org.uk/folktran.htm). We're still waiting for 2017 dates to be released - will keep you updated as soon as we know.
