Dear all members of the
Peer Health Advocacy Project...
As reward for all your hard work and commitment to the Peer Health Advocacy Project and fellow adults with learning difficulties in Swansea, we have organised a trip to the Swansea GRAND THEATRE for a Christmas night out on Tuesday 9th December 2008.
We will be going to see a Glam Rock Christmas party with MUD, SLADE and a T-REX Tribute band.
"Now in its 16th successful year, this is the must see, must be at, pre-Christmas concert party!. The party opens with MUD, and features members of Les Gray's Mud! Their set includes the massive world wide smash 'LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS' and many of Mud's other hits. T-REX tribute act, T-REXTASY, take to the stage with 45 minutes of all MARC BOLAN'S Hits including 'Metal Guru', 'Ride a White Swan', 'Hot Love' and more. The show ends with the 70s legendary band SLADE, and the only band to see at Xmas! The finale is, of course, their massive Christmas hit 'MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY' which is re-released annually in mid November, and heard everywhere in the run up to Christmas."
MUD - 'Lonely this Christmas'
SLADE - 'Merry Xmas Everybody'
T-REXTASY - '20th Century Boy'

STATEMENT FROM EDWINA HART ON MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
On September 29th 2008 Health Minister
EDWINA HART released a STATEMENT on the combining of all Mental Health services in Wales into ONE single body as recommended by Prof Michael Williams in his paper "Iechyd Meddwl Cymru - A Well Being and Mental Health Service Fit For Wales"
Following lots of discussion and debate this idea has been REJECTED as the idea of 'one size fits all' is thought to be not feasible in reality.
Thank you to all who took part in discussions about this and for giving your opinion on a delicate issue that could affect you personally.
If you have any comments to make then please contact us via email here ClmLy9@aol.com
