Epilepsys Affects on Romance

Contact Stephen Bellini

About us

Living with epilepsy, people don't always credit us with intelligance because our pills make us slow so how can they see us as romantic?

The aim of this group (as well as having fun) is to discuss and help each other come to a realisation of how our brains work, what are limitations are, and how these can be an asset in society not a restriction.

This is the pinical of coming to an understanding of what our triggers are and how we subconsciously react.

Once we and our nearest and dearest know that it relieves a lot of the trigger pressures of daily living and thus aids us all to improve.

Phsychology is at face value weird but it is of great value in aiding us all to get along and realise how 'we' the individual process and think.

Southport WRENS Association

Southport WRENS Association

Contact Mrs Pam Barker

Telephone 01704-568654

About us

The Association of Wrens is still having fun.
The association was formed in 1917 - 90 years ago this year - by a group of ex-Wrens
who felt that the friendships they had made and the spirit of the Wrens should be kept alive.
Many years later, that same ideal is still upheld by almost 8,000 women where no distinction is made between rating and officer - just to enjoy something unique and worthwhile.

The Southport Association have been in operation for 18 years this year.
Every year we celebrate our birthday, Trafalgar Day, and all the church services to remember those who fell during the wars.

We have speakers and trips to the theatre and other activities. We would welcome any past members of the Wrens who live near enough to visit us at the Conservative Club, 20 Bath Street, Southport.

We meet on the second Wednesday of every month. Drinks and sandwiches can be purchased if you have travelled, and of course, there is a cuppa and a biscuit with a £1 entry fee.
Meetings start at 1pm.
