Launch of EuroGenGuide Website in York

The EuroGenGuide

www.eurogenguide.org.uk

FAPGene were invited to pass comment from a patients point of view several months before the launch of the EuroGenGuide Website.

Mick travelled down the the offices of The Genetic Interest Group (GIG)where he spent a couple of hours with Project Lead Alex McKeown and members of his team. FAPGene along with another 140 Genetic Groups are members of GIG who are also often contacted to help with various projects.

There was a bonus for Mick this time as with Ann his wife a late summer break coincided with the launch of The EuroGenGuide Website in York on September 9th 2008. The Mansion House was the very impressive venue and a late afternoon reception with the Lord Mayor and The Sheriff of York.

We felt it worthwhile adding a few photographs of the day and of an unexpected invitation to an evening meal with the EuroGenGuide Team.
