Tymes Trust Alert 2013-08 Message from Jane 23 September 2013 ====== Follow Jane on Twitter @JaneCColby or read her tweets at www.tymestrust.org ====== ITV NEWS COVERS ME and Tymes Trust comes to Liskeard ====== ITV ME FEATURE I was recently interviewed for an ITV feature on ME and young people. It is expected to be shown on Thursday 3rd October, on ITV Anglia News in the 6pm bulletin. (It will probably be aired at around 6.15pm.) We look forward to seeing how the feature turns out; it was sparked by the case of a young woman who is campaigning for the needs of young people with ME to be recognised, and we wish her all success. QUESTION TIME IN LISKEARD A reminder that I shall be on the panel for MEA Question Time in Liskeard, near Plymouth, this coming Saturday 28 September. I expect you have seen the publicity for this event already. For those who live within travelling distance and can manage the journey, the details are: The Public Hall 3-5 West Street Liskeard PL14 6BW Between 2pm and 5pm Disabled access and stairlift Refreshments served in the interval I am told that pay and display parking is available opposite the hall at Westbourne Car Park. I very much look forward to meeting those of you who can get there. And : ME BRIEFING We have just produced a new booklet for you: an autumn ME Briefing, which will shortly be available both online and by post. It follows on from my recent talk to Richmond and Kingston ME Group, and is designed as a tool to assist families facing education plans driven by doctors rather than education professionals. I will let you know more on that soon. STICKERS! It's not too soon to order your Tymes Trust Christmas stickers - for inside Christmas cards, or to decorate envelopes. Just make any donation - you can do that at www.tymestrust.org - and mail us via the Contact Us form letting us know how many stickers you want. Or you can send a donation by post with your details and requirements (address below). We have a new design this year - Jolly Robins! All together: 'Aaah.' Or you can have a selection of designs. ME is a ghastly ordeal, so it's important to have something jolly to smile about.
