Members' Weekend and AGM 2020
Join us at our annual Members’ Weekend and AGM 2020 on the 2nd - 3rd May at Wokfield Estate, Reading, Berkshire.
What to expect
Our Greatest Show Circus theme will acknowledge some of the demands that many Members juggle in life when living with EB.
Members have told us how useful and enjoyable it is to attend Members’ Weekend, it connects them with other Members living with EB, helps people who may feel isolated and gives an opportunity to share and learn from one another as well as meet community support, healthcare and research leads and have fun. Watch the video at the bottom of this page to find out more.
- Something for everyone – whatever your age or the type of EB that you live with
- Attend for one day or the whole weekend
- Saturday - presentations, practical workshops, information stands, fun activities and plenty of food!
- Saturday evening - drinks reception, dinner, disco, overnight accommodation and breakfast
- Members’ AGM will also be held on Saturday
- On Sunday you will be free to enjoy the many lovely places nearby, for example, Wellington Country Park, Windsor or Henley-on-Thames.
If you would like to be involved with the theme of the weekend for example by providing entertainment, sharing a story or suggesting topics for the workshops please get in touch. Let’s work together and tackle how we juggle the demands of life.
