Friday 2nd July – Travel to Bognor
(no official plans for this day or for an evening meal so please make your own arrangements)


Saturday 3rd July – We will all be meeting up for a relaxed picnic - e-mail me if you are thinking of coming and I will let you know location and times. You can find further, more precise details in the Saturday Lowdown section. (Again, no evening plans so do as you please)

Sunday 4th July – The Bognor Birdman!!!! It’s a day long event, see the Sunday Schedule page for more details. (Nothing scheduled for the evening but it is possible that England will be in the Euro 2004 final at 7.45pm. After our match against France and our current injury issues this isn’t looking likely!! If we are in the final a few of us might gather in a local pub to cheer/weep and everyone is welcome to come.)


Monday 5th July – End of weekend so time for goodbyes

The weekend is not a case of ‘all or nothing’; you can attend as much or as little as you like. You should remember to tailor your weekend to suit your needs as a ME person. If you require more rest days before and after travelling then factor that into your own personal plans. The Bognor organisers will ask you ahead of time what you are thinking of attending and what you are planning to sit out but you can always change your mind five minutes before you leave. You will have contact numbers so you can let us know that you are not going to be able to make it.

If you have those dates free and plan on coming or are still just thinking about it let me know at I’ll send you a questionnaire and the option of joining a mailing list that will contain information about the weekend.

When making your decision to come, remember that you will be responsible for arranging your own accommodation, food and travel to and from each meet. You will have to factor in how this will affect your health and whether you should invite a carer/physical assistant. We can help with giving you a place to crash if needs be during the day, we are currently arranging which hotel rooms can be available.

The best thing about going away with Foggers is that we all understand the ups and downs of this illness. If you need some quiet time or feel you have to lie down to carry on talking then you can. It’s like a real life Fogland, so you can relax in the knowledge that we understand.

I hope that you are able to come along, it will be an amazing weekend (I’m working my socks off to make it that way ), so drop me an email and join in the fun. If you have any questions that I haven’t addressed then you can email me on the above address and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Has anyone ever been this excited about going to Bognor?

No, I didn’t think so…
