ON Tuesday, January 23, the Southampton Asperger Support Group (for both adults and children with AS, and their families) will be having their post-Christmas party.

We would like to invite all past members and their families, and any interested potential new members to come along to Sholing Junior School,M iddle Road, Southampton, where we meet, at 7pm that evening.

Our guests will include Tony Brown and Beth Johnson from the University Psychology Department and Carole Hiorns from The Hampshire Autistic Society.

We really hope to see as many people as possible there that evening. For further details please contact Sue Jacobs on 80432612.

We would also like to thank all those involved with the group after a promising meeting with Khalid Aziz (broadcaster and one of the Deputy Lieutenants of Hampshire) to assess our nominaton for the Queen's Award for Voluntary Services. Watch this space as our nomination moves through the selection process!
