We are a friendly group who meet monthly. We welcome sufferers of fibromyalgia, their friends and anyone with a personal or professional interest in this condition. Membership of the group is £7 per year, but we encourage you to come along and see if it suits you, before signing up.

We try to organise two or three annual outings for members. Transport is provided from West Lothian. We had a trip on 19 June 2008 to West Kilbride Craft & Design Town.

We had a trip on Monday August 11 2008 to Blair Castle Blair Atholl, Perthshire. We visited the castle grounds, particularly the Hercules Garden. We went up to House of Bruar briefly too.

An outing to Calendar Girls at the King’s Theatre in Edinburgh has been organised for Saturday 18th October. Thirteen members are attending this matinee.

Future events will be posted as they are planned. Your ideas for events are welcome.

We will create a photo gallery over time.
