Ostomyland had a great time at Breakaway 2008 over the weekend just gone. On the Monday a mini-conference was held for families to get information on new products and services from various companies, and we too were there to spread the word about the Ostomyland support community. Leaflets were distributed to visitors, and our own Kathy (Oland Senior Website Admin) was there to answer questions and talk to folks about the website and it’s community.

Thanks to this Breakaway Conference day, we’ve had many new members sign up to the Ostomyland message board and join our community, so please say hello and make them feel welcome. On top of this, a couple Stoma Nurses took wads of leaflets and brochures to make available to their clinic patients. So a big thank you goes to them for doing that!
I’d would also like to take this opportunity to thank Kathy for giving up her Bank Holiday Monday to be at the event to help promote Ostomyland to the Conference, and especially Jules and Rachel for allowing us to take up some of their valuable table space!
