The clinic we went through was QFG, and they have a committee called "Friends of QFG" you get quarterly newsletters, with notices of meet ups for various outings (last newsletter I still have is from FEB, and it has on the front, dates for...a cuppa and a chat, play and a chat, a guys get together for men only, a yet to succeed breakfast for ladies only.
They request that babies and children are not taken along to the activites unless it is the play and chat outing.
They have email addressess in the newsletter, so you can contact other people, and a country contact section for us 'country girls' as well.

Is this something unique to QFG or do other clinics have something similiar operating?
Unfornately because we live so far from the clinic, I was unable to go to any of the events, but had I lived closer, I would have certainly taken advantage of them.
