Don Tombs

The CGFG is based in Crawley, West Sussex, UK, this is a fairly large, relatively new town, about 5 minutes drive, South of London’s second largest Airport, Gatwick. And we are completely separate from Coeliac UK. we are not Doctors or here to give medical advice, but at our meetings the conditions, that our members suffer from, are often being discussed. We welcome all people, who medically suffer from an intolerance to Gluten, to participate in our meetings, (please see our Aims & Objectives). Our Group now has over 70 members.

We are not organised and driven by a Committee, with a President, Chairman, Secretary or Treasurer, we make our own decisions about where we are going, who we wish to invite, when to meet and report only to our local members. We do however have an Organiser and Volunteers, that’s how we progress and it seems to work!.

We now meet on the third Saturday of every month, apart from holiday times, in the town centre (see map and picture St. Pauls Methodist Church Hall). The Hall is on a bus route, so members with young children, or those without cars, can easily get there. The time and date of meeting was voted on and selected by the members and we produce a monthly event itinerary (see planned future events).

We don’t charge, we don’t get paid, nobody does, we are a charity run by complete volunteers, we do accept donations, these cover the hall hire, insurance and any sundry expenses, our Accounts are auditable through our monthly bank statements from Lloyds TSB Crawley.

The CGFG does not deal at a National Level, we instead focus on the creation of local awareness and improving the lives of our members. We are making a difference (see our testimonials), we continue to grow each month and we have only just started.
