March Meeting

Regrettably this meeting was effectively cancelled due to the ill health of Professor Williams, our speaker for March, and most of the group. However those that did make it had a good old chat about everything and anything. It was a very pleasant social evening. Next meeting: This will take place on Wednesday 9th May 2007 when we hope that Rebecca Baker, one of the trustees of the National Eczema Society, will be talking about her fund raising cycle trip to Mexico.

Visitor Nation Updates

The Visitor Nations page has been updated with the flag of the Lebanon. This is the 71st nation to visit our site. What I would like to do is link these nations with their own national organisation for Eczema. Where I know the organisation I have linked your national flag to that organisation. Just click your flag. Where I do not know the organisation perhaps you can help by letting me know.

Take up the Challenge to support the National Eczema Society

Taking part in an overseas event to raise money is an exciting and challenging way of supporting the National Eczema Society. Challenges can include walking, running, cycling, horse (or even camel) riding in distant countries including China, Mexico, Cuba and India. You don't have to be super fit to take part but the challenges are physically challenging. Training and fitness is a must. But, this is not a race - the aim is for you to complete the challenge at your own pace. Whilst there will be people of differing levels of fitness on the trek you will find that there is a great sense of team spirit and support for everyone to complete the challenge. People from all walks of life and of all ages take part in challenge events. From 18 onwards, everyone is welcome as long as you are fit and healthy enough to do the challenge. For more details and an information pack visit the National Eczema Society at www.eczema.org.
