Um I'm not on Council (Trustees) - I'm on General Council. I don't have the answer to exactly what they did as we haven't had a meeting since but I know they were doing something.

Thanks Karen, well as an NRA member - I received nothing from the NRA about it - I have had twice weekly E-mails from BASC encouraging members to reply to the petition and E-mail WH Smith direct.

Not just WH Smith.

I'll be visiting WHS on that day - not to buy but top take a large number of the leaflets for "further distribution" and recycling.
