4 SPIN 114 © 2024 The Ménière’s Society ’s Society We hope you enjoy reading our final issue of Spin for 2024! This year we’ve been pleased to host our Annual Conference – with reports of the presentations in this issue and the previous edition (113). We look forward to sharing plans for our 2025 conference in due course. We had a great Balance Awareness Week in September and thank everyone who took part, hosted events and shared our social media posts - more in the next issue. We attended the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery at Queen’s Square, London on Monday 16 September. We had an information stand and chatted with patients and staff about vestibular conditions and the work of the Society. We also took some #BalanceAware photos (pictured). On the Thursday of Balance Awareness Week, we held our Annual General Meeting. Many thanks to everyone who attended via Zoom. The meeting started with a presentation on ‘‘Dizziness and Perception: Seeing Through the Invisible” from Ménière’s Society Ambassador, Diego Kaski, Consultant Neurotologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London. This was followed by our business meeting to elect the trustees and approve our annual financial report. David Renton has been Chair of Trustees for six years and, as per the Society’s Constitution, is required to step down after this period of time. We are very grateful for all David’s work and time he has given to the role over the years. We are pleased that he will be continuing to volunteer with us as part of the trustee body. With David stepping down from his Chair role, we are delighted that Colin Hughes and Pennie Ford were elected as our new joint Chairs of Trustees for the coming year. Sara Christopher also remains as the Charity’s Treasurer at this time. As we move towards the end of the year, we’re focusing on our Christmas fundraising. Check out our Christmas Cards on page 26 and also on the enclosed flyer. They are already selling well, so please order soon to avoid disappointment. Welcome to Spin 114 SoCIety News
