Hello Everyone,

As you know – because of some minor performer called Ed Sheeran! – our visit to Tropical World had to be cancelled at very short notice. Thanks to our member Alison McFarlane for noticing, as Tropical World omitted to tell us they would be closed.

However, never ones to carry a grudge we have rearranged it for Saturday 28^th September. See below for details.

So, reminders for your diary of the couple of events coming up:

TELFORD
Sunday 15^th September
Exotic Zoo, Lakeside Plant Centre, Priorslee, Telford, TF2 9TT

We will meet at the café at the Lakeside Plant Centre itself. This event is free to members and immediate family. Parking is free. Children will love this place because it is very hands on.

LEEDS
Saturday 28^th September
Tropical World, Princes Avenue, Leeds, LS8 2ER

We meet at the entrance and/or their café from 11am onwards. Parking is free.
Tropical World gives you an unforgettable journey through rain forest, mangroves, desert, and a nocturnal world. It has everything from armadillos, to butterflies, birds, and those loveable meercat gangs, to a tropical fish aquarium.

We have lots of events planned for the summer and others in the pipeline. See News & Events >>

I am sure you are aware it is not the venue that really counts it’s the getting together and meeting children, adults, and parents with links to Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC).

Certainly, the events we have held so far around the country have proven very successful for that.

OF COURSE, THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT EVENT OF ALL IS OUR

Family Weekend on Saturday 19th October and Sunday 20th October

It will be at the Jurys Inn hotel at Hinckley, Leicestershire. We were there 3 years ago, and it is a lovely, and very accessible hotel. More details and to book >

I hope to see you at one of our events or get-togethers this year.

Best Wishes

Peter Lacey

Chairman of The Arthrogryposis Group
