Saint Nicolas Place is an historic timber framed building set on the edge of Kings Norton Green, next to St Nicolas Church, and probably worth a visit in its own right, so I hope we have a good turnout! Please remember that if you intend to come we will need to know in advance, so that the staff can organise and prepare the room for our meeting. Please either let me know by phone, email or post. It would be helpful to also know how many guests will be with you if you do come. Also if you have any questions please contact me, phone Kieran on 0121 457 8986 or email at info@HaemochromatosisWM.org.uk
