North of England Region

Regional Newsletter-Web Version

December 2009

Each time the regional newsletter is published, it costs money to print and to post. We are still committed to posting out a newsletter, but for some readers, an online version may be more convenient. This is my first attempt to create an online version of the familiar regional newsletter.

There are issues relating to privacy and data protection whenever information is posted online for public viewing. It is for this reason that I have edited the newsletter, removing personal information to create this web version. I hope you still find it useful.

Nightlife

December 2009

Following on from MS Life Newcastle-Gateshead in June 2009, the MS Society held another Inclusive Club Night. This time the venue was Bewicks at Gateshead Civic Centre on 27 November 2009, from 8pm until midnight. 2 Rooms: Funky house & vocal garage by Local Hero DJ’s and The light lounge - retro classics & requests.

Thanks go to the MS events team for a great night and to Roger Cook for inviting three great hip hop rappers; Supanice, Mista Breeze and Baron Von Alias.

MS Life 2009

The North of England Region is proud to have hosted this year’s MS Life event in June, at the Sage music and conference venue, which is situated on the Gateshead Quays, just across the river Tyne from Newcastle city’s quayside and adjacent to the Stirling Prize-winning Gateshead Millennium Bridge and the world famous Tyne Bridge.

Many visitors were welcomed to our region during the weekend of 12-14 June for MS Life 2009 which was a great success, following in the tradition of the MS Life events previously held in Manchester.

If you were not able to attend, you can visit the Research Talk page to view video interviews of each presenter. You can read more about the MS Life 2009 event here.
