It's been a busy few weeks. At Broadstairs we had
about 600 come to the meeting on Prostate Cancer Awareness and 430
of these were men wanting a P.S.A. test which was a little
unfortunate as we only had 400 needles and syringes! Then we had our
Kidderminster meeting at which approximately 500 came and of these
280 wanted a blood test. Nick Owen was the guest speaker and he gave
a very interesting and entertaining talk. This week we have a Golf
Tournament in aid of Prostate Cancer and next week we are off to
Wadebridge where we expect another 300 tests at least.
Nick Owen has agreed to become one of our patrons
and his name will be added to the "Officers" section. I
suspect the coach trippers to Llangollen have had a super time. I
was not able to go myself as I have been finishing off the last of
the 700 letters giving the P.S.A. results.

I am pleased to
say that Martin Bell, former BBC war correspondent and Independent
Member of Parliament will be speaking in October - go to the diary
pages for details. We have just returned from Wadebridge in Cornwall
where we did another 258 PSA tests. Next week we are off to
Leamington Spa for a similar session. I am working at some more 'celeb'
speakers for the 2009 / 2010 programme and will let you know
threough the website when I have confirmations.
