Sign me up for it. Let's all stop bleating about what to do and actually try and do something.
so are you a member of the digger's forum? It is only FIVE quid a year!!!
Jez, Paul and Chris got off their a*ses and formed a Group within the IfA, got people voted onto IfA council, tried to shift the balance of power in the membership of the IfA, engaged in the debate and if they didn't get all they wanted, they at least put the usual suspects on the spot but still people moan about subs and no-one doing anything but bleating. Well they are working away quietly for no reward on top of doing their own jobs, as do all the union officers, plugging away trying to improve life for us all, or are they just bleating?
Sorry, to pick on your post Ken, I'm sure you don't deserve it. There is a need for a range of groups coming from different perspectives and campaigning for different things. The groups already exist to a large extent. Now if David wants to create a separate BAJR group where people sign up to a Charter or statement of intentions, and can elect reps then I would be interested if it was doing something new, but we've a long way to go before we even work out what 'we' want, or who 'we' are.
