   July 2013 will be a very busy month of meetings and events!

On Saturday, 13 July, there will be a fund raising event for Swindon IA, organised by Rod & Sophie Richens at Even Swindon Community Centre, Rodbourne, Swindon.
Tickets at £8.50 adults & £5.00 children are available from chairman Frank Williams.

We have been invited to visit the Salts Healthcare premises in Birmingham on Wednesday, 17 July to learn more on the manufacture of ostomy equipment. Hopefully, there will be enough response to justify the hiring of a coach for the journey.
Members interested should contact the secretary asap.

Our next meeting will be our summer meeting, which will be held in our usual venue:
Lawn Community Centre, Guildford Avenue, Swindon
on Sunday, 28 July starting at 2:00 p.m. As usual, there will be a buffet tea, a raffle and we have appliance companies lined up to show you their latest wares.

Pernicious Anaemia

     Our stoma care nurses have draw our attention to some important information that is of a special relevance to ileostomists. The information has come from the Pernicious Anaemia Society and warns of the dangers of vitamin B12 Deficiency and the link with pernicious anaemia.

     The Pernicious Anaemia Society has a website and there you will find two important documents for you to download: Symtom Checklist and B12 Test.
