This month there will be two events at our meeting which is taking place this Friday, 9th March 2012 at 7 pm at the Bristol Mind offices: 35 Old Market Street, Bristol BS22 0EZ. First, Dr Ovais Badat will be at the meeting to give an update about the Bristol clinic and also to talk about ADHD and workplace issues. Secondly, a BBC radio interviewer will be coming with Dr Badat, because Radio 4 wants to make a programme about adult ADHD and they want to learn more about what ADHD. Please note that that if the BBC decides to collect any sound bites for the programme, they will only do so from those of us who specifically give them permission to do so. More information available here: aadduk.org/help-support/support-groups/bristol-adult-adhd-support-group/

OH SHIT!!! I'm gutted. I've already made plans to go to Devon this weekend I would really like to go to this. Oh well. Is the Bristol meet up any specific time each month or is it when you can book it. Like whats the earliest I can put it on my diary so I don't plan things? Thanks

Oooh it seems that I am exactly (almost give a mile or so) inbetween the Southampton support group and the Bristol Support group.
Given that the Bristol one is in the evening and Southampton is in the daytime (Thurs) I think my best option is to join the Bristol one!
I don't know how often i'll be able to make it, but I will try to come at least once before the year is out.
Hope to meet you all in person soon,
Lottie x

I've been debating it as I've never been before, but I'm doubtful that I'd gain anything from going.

Well, I mustered up the courage and resolve to go and I'm happy I did. I'm still doubtful that I'll gain anything that'll actually help with my ADHD, but the people I met tonight are amazing and I've no doubt that just knowing them will make me a better person.

Hi folks! I'm so glad I came to the meeting on Friday 10th. As I said at the time, it was amazing (and a bit wierd) to find myself in a room full of people who experience many of the same things as me. It was also very reassuring to know people are successfully working and seemingly having a good time at it too - a bit of a revelation for me! You were all so sweet and supportive, really made a difference to my outlook on things, and gave me lots to think about. I just hope I didn't monopolise too much of the conversation (oh, and swear too much - sorry about that.) Anyway, I'll do my best to be at the next meeting too. Look forward to seeing you then. Very best wishes (and if it's not too forward, *big hugs*) Kate (tarante11a)

I'll definitely be going to the next one. Kate, I don't think you monopolised anything and if you come to the next one, you should try and come to pub after. Personally, I felt more at ease chatting and meeting everyone in relaxed pub setting. I'm socially anxious in regards to meeting new people however.

Hello m'dears
I'm a bit sad - I can't come to the meeting tonight. I was very much looking forward to it too, but I hope you have a productive, interesting and fun evening! I'll see you next time hopefully!
Very best wishes and *hugs*

I'd really wanted to go the other week, but was presented with the chance to earn some nice money on a freelance project and couldn't say no. Next month for sure!

Hello! Just checking because I'm terrible at calendars and dates (as you know!) Is the next Bristol meeting tomorrow night - 12th July 2013? Hoping to come if it is!

Post by Lesley on Jul 11, 2013 17:52:38 GMT
Yes it is. I was hoping to come too, but now have to be in Bristol in the morning and back home in the afternoon - and I can't face the journey twice in one day. So hopefully I'll see you in August.

I'm considering making the journey up to Bristol for the next meeting on Friday 10th Jan 2014.
Does anyone know if it's happening for definite?

Wavey, I don't see why not. I've been a couple of times, didn't make it to the Dec one, but went to the Nov one. As long as I remember on the day, I'll be going too. The lady that runs it (think her name is Susan..) has been a bit late both times I've gone, so there's just been a huddle of people outside the Mind building, waiting to be let in! So don't be put off if you have to wait outside a while. Unless it's 7pm and you're completely alone. Then something might be amiss!!
