Today's event was a great success, and both speakers were very good. Just as importantly was listening to how many OSA sufferers had gained a lot from the meeting, and getting together with others. There were lots of people I spoke to who needed so much help, and if only they were on the internet they could have had this help a long time ago on this forum and on others. Yet another reason why these support groups are invaluable. It was lovely to meet 'in the flesh' a few of you today too, and I hope I can meet many more of you at events closer to where you live. Well done to the St James Group organisers, as I know first-hand just how much work goes on behind the scenes planning these events.

Many thanks to those that arranged this event as I found it a most informal informative time. It allayed some of my concerns and gave me advice that was new and refreshing to hear.
