Yes it does still exist but not in the same form as when it started and I am one of the original members. You can now join via the Facebook page:-

Toni-Marie runs the site now but you have to be a registered member to post articles and pictures. A very useful and friendly page.

I thought that it had gone very quiet on the ESC front , now I know why ; I wonder if other original members are all aware of the change .

I am pretty sure that Toni-Marie contacted everyone who made known their e-mail address. Dr. Elizabeth Pendleton who ran it for over five years has family health problems so was unable to continue with the newsletter etc.

Hi,

I have been contacted by a member of the group who has not been informed of the changes and she is not able to use any on-line system as she does not have a computer, so will she be contacted in another way?

Hi Suzanne,

At the moment the EHSC is a group only on Facebook so unfortunately is only be 'online'. As Sylvia said Toni Marie has contacted all the old members that she had email addresses for to inform them of the group. I'm not sure if the old newsletters via snail mail / Emails will re-appear from Elizabeth as I understand she has family business that of course takes priority at the moment.
