annual general meeting/pub meetings

We had a good turn out to our meeting on Wednesday, May 11, when we met to chat about the events of last year and to elect our new Committee. Issues discussed included group issues such as funding and policy and procedure development, service development work with the Selby and York PCT, a website for the group and our group survey. We had some useful positive feedback on other issues such as Blue Disabled Parking Badges and the Chronic Fatigue Clinic in Leeds. Brian was elected our Newsletter Editor and Secretary. Myself (Jenny Gilmore) and Sandra Tomlinson are to continue in our roles as Chair and Treasurer. Richard Canham, Paula Sidebottom and Sarah Davies were elected as ordinary members of the Committee.
We followed our AGM with a lively discussion about the approaches to thyroid and adrenal sufficiency as a means of treating ME recommended by Dr Peatfield. We have more information on this if you would like it. Copies of the AGM minutes and our accounts are also available. Sheila has retired from the Committee, but hopes to still attend our Pub Socials, etc. Thanks to everyone who came along.
