Hi all
I'm not sure how many of you attend or maybe even operate a face-to-face support group but I was thinking of starting one here in Canberra as I haven't found one. I want to make it Wegeners-centric but might struggle a bit with numbers

Anyway, what I want to know is how you would start and then manage a face-to-face group if you could. I was thinking initially of meeting monthly and seeing how it goes from there. Obviously we can't just sit there and look at each other so I'd need to think of something interactive (yet done sitting down) for the group to do too. Perhaps just sitting and talking about our experiences would be a good first step. I'd also need to get somewhere for the group to meet, perhaps provide some kind of food/drink as well especially for the pred-people

As you can see, still very much in the planning stages. What would you want from a face-to-face support group? Any ideas no matter how wild will be greatfully accepted.
