I’ve been talking to my Adhd nurse for the last 3 years about starting an informal neet up group In the Hastings area, but like most things I’m so adhd I don’t get around to it .. but after visiting the group at Brighton, I realised how useful it would be to have a once a month meet up group local to me.
Im new to this forum and can’t quite work out how it works, I did get a response on the shout out board but not sure if I can private message back ..but hopefully this thread will get to who ever it was !

Hi, Yes it worked. I am the father of an Adhd son who has only just been diagnosed at 25. On investigation of his condition, I realised that all the issues I have struggled with all my life are mostly likely due to Adhd. I am now investigating formal diagnosis, but there is no doubt in my mind what so ever. I am looking to speak to others with the view to finding out about management strategies and passing on to my son. Incidently I took a guess at vaman@suz34 as away of replying to shout out and it seemed to work. I am also new to the forum. John

suz34 and vaman as new members, your first posts have to be approved by admin and won’t show immediately on the main site, although they can usually be viewed on the mobile site. Also, I don’t think you can send PMs until you’ve posted a certain amount of times. I usually look at most recent posts by clicking on it at the bottom of the main page, then navigater from there. Hope this helps

Re: setting up a group. . .just do it! I did it in Hull. I set up a Facebook page and group, a basic website with contact page, Twitter account, found some people who were interested and, at first, met some of them on a 1-2-1 basis because a lot of us have social anxiety. DON’T ask people about when/where would be best for a group meet at first, because we’re terrible at making decisions It can be discussed at a later date. You decide on a time and place and put the word out. I find that you need to send out a lot of reminders on all platforms and we have a Whatsapp Group. One of the best things I did for getting the word out was old-fashioned posters and flyers. . . in libraries, colleges, surgeries, community noticeboards etc remember to ask first! Good luck! Ask me questions if you want to know more.

After an adhd moment taking myself off to India which I couldn’t afford I’m back and rearing to go on setting up a Hastings area support group starting with initial meet in coffee shop in town to see who’s interested . My adhd nurse has a number of locals interested so please shout if there’s anymore of you

Hi suz34 Maybe we should set up a Facebook thing and get everyone on the same page as it were! I can make just about any evening other than Wednesdays. I'm easy with location too but others might prefer somewhere quiet and discreet , let's get something going tho as there's absolutely nothing round these parts that I'm aware of!

Hi Mike be brilliant to have a partner in crime to help get it on its feet ..I know Vaman is interested don’t know how to tag him in. Where about scare you ? Maybe we could meet up and discuss how best to get it of the ground . Obviously don’t want to put my mobile on here . I’m down the old town how about we meet one evening in say the Jenny Lind.? Then sort it from there ..adhd at its best tonight or tomorrow’s?
