Good to see you at the conference

I'd just like to say thanks to all of you at the conference for giving me a warm welcome. It was great to see so many of you so I now know what you look like!

With me was a colleague from Trinidad who is setting up a hospital contact lens clinic with special reference to KC (as it is so prevalent out there). She was very impressed with the organisation and the conference in general and has taken the idea of the support group back with her to Trinidad. Thanks to Anne for sending me a package - its adding to the weight in her suitcase!

It was a very good day and I got to talk to some very interesting people.

Thanks again!

Lynn

Lynn,

A big thank you for coming to speak to us! It was a really interesting speech which I really enjoyed!

I am glad that you and Petra enjoyed the day and it is good that she had a lot of ideas to take back to Trinidad.

It is nice to be able to put faces to a name and I met loads of friends from here which was lovely! Talk to you soon love Sweet X x X

Lynn,

It was good to meet you. I am sure we lost you on the way to the Chineese, but as your posting you got back home OK, hopefully not on an empty stomach.

Will see when big bruv will let me visit him so don't go booking your hols just yet :twisted:

You did lose us because Petra was so cold with the wind and drizzle I took her back to thaw out at the hotel. She is not at all convinced we do actually sometimes have decent weather in the UK!

Keep me posted as to when you might arrive on the freezing East coast!

Lynn

PS You didn't look anything like I imagined but don't ask me WHAT I imagined as I am not sure! :lol:

I am sure you meant the last commnet as a complement

Perhaps I should have worn my overalls and crash helmet :shock:

If it is fine at the weekend, I will take a picture of a sunny English day for you to send to Petra. Our weather does take some getting used to.

Many thanks Lynn! And all the best to Petra in setting up a KC Group in Trinidad. Now there's a venue for our next conference - guaranteed sunshine!

Lynn,

I really enjoyed your presentation - especially hearing about Trinidad and the large number of KC cases over there.

Maybe we all have a little Trinidad or Tobago in us?

Hi Lynn

Enjoyed your presentation on Saturday. Thanks for taking the time out to come and talk to us.

That goes for all the other speakers as well, both myself and my sister (who is currently a nurse on an eye unit ward in the north west) found it all very interesting.

best wishes

Susan
