November

  • Almost half way through and a lot more has happened.
  • On the 14th the fund raiser started. First reports are good despite the world's stock markets crashing in flames all around us. In difficult times people obviously need us even more.
  • And a UK office opens at last that is more than a few cardboard boxes in someone's front room.
  • Small first steps but we have four desks, four phones and four ethernet cables plus a large supply of tea and coffee. Wireless router imminent.
  • Over the next three months this will become the dynamo for all the WMUK activities, supporting volunteers and making the 2012 programme reality.
  • Visitors are welcome but email before you want to come in as I am often in other places meeting people.
  • And today I am meeting Sue for the first time in a week of activities that should see me completely exhausted by Sunday night.
  • Meanwhile in Coventry Richard is holding the fort in the face of the piles of work generated by the fundraiser. Not sure he will be able to sleep for a while.
