Calling all Charing Cross Girls: Advice please

    I was referred to Charing Cross GIC in January 2014 and have waited ages for any news. This week I got a very apologetic letter saying that they were sorry about the long wait and that I have been invited to attend a registration workshop. I'm not complaining, on the contrary, I'm ecstatic, but none of the girls I've spoken to have mentioned these workshops. I'm wondering if they're using them instead of several appointments.

    Has anyone else been to one of these workshops? If so, a head's up would be really nice.

    I've pencilled mine in for Tuesday 30th September, so if anyone else is going, say hi now and I'll see you there xx
