Hi Bee, it is always on the 2nd Friday of the month so the next ones will be on Friday, 11th November; Friday, 9th December; Friday, 13th January 2017 etc.
I'm fairly good at sending out reminders from our twitter account (@splashofyellow) and it's also on AADD-UK's calendar which I think you can set to send you a reminder.

I am gutted I missed the last meeting, I would have liked to of asked him the amount of time it will take me to be re-referred back to the clinic and if they are not as useless as they were 2yrs ago when they claimed that my anxiety was so ingrained in to my personality that I will always be that way and that anxiety is my main problem not ADHD.
I have since managed to beat my life long anxiety by my self and have even managed to get employment for the past 11 months however it looks like my untreated ADHD may lead to me losing my job now.

Hi matthew123 and everybody else, the next meeting will be on Friday, 9th March from 7pm to 9pm at the Bristol Mind Office on Old Market Street. Don't worry about being late (in fact I've been known to arrive a tad late myself ) just ring the front door bell and one of us will come down and let you in. Also, it's okay to just show up, no need to contact us to reserve a place. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting

Hi! Does anyone know if the Bristol ADHD support groups have started up again after lockdown? The latest update has been online for months - not sure if anything's changed since then...
