New National Secretary and Treasurer Elected

We wanted to introduce ourselves as the new NSO Secretary and Treasurer of Gam-Anon UK, as of 9th April 2011. We wanted to let you all know that we are here to help in whatever way we can. We therefore wanted to take this opportunity to explain our roles and offer suggestions of how we may be able to help:

Relatives and friends of compulsive gamblers:-

We have a list of contacts within the Gam-Anon groups and can put you directly in touch with someone in your nearest group.
If there is not a group near you then we can talk to you on the phone or over e-mail and offer support.

If you want to start a group:-

Please contact us and we will offer as much support as we can.
We can add your meeting to the web-site and Unity News, so that new members can locate the group.
We can provide a starter pack of literature.
We can advertise your meeting to Gam-Anon groups in the area and ask them to help support the new meeting.

Established groups:-

If at all possible, please contact Roger (system@gamanon.org.uk) and set up a group e-mail address.
This will enable you to access an area in which we can share information and support each other. Useful documents such as minutes from meeting are uploaded into this area.
We can provide literature and advertise any open meetings.
If there are any difficult questions or issues that you wish to discuss, or you want to find out about other ways you can help people please just get in touch.

So please do not hesitate to get in touch with us and let us know if there is any way that we can help you.

Best wishes to all of you,
From
Poppy (nsosec@gamanon.org.uk) and Bev (nsotreasurer@gamanon.org.uk)
