Apologies for the error in one of the links that were mailed out via Co-Cure e-list, yesterday, this has now been corrected in a follow up posting.
I’d like to take this opportunity of thanking the following: Gus Ryan for organising the RSM Protest on the afternoon of the conference, his two stewards, Annette Barclay and Ciaran Farrell, all those who attended the protest and prepared presentation letters; Joan and Dewi Crawford for attending in the morning and handing out several hundred information leaflets to conference attendees; everyone both here in the UK and internationally, who sent postcards, letters and emails to the RSM in protest against the make-up of the planning committee, the line-up of presenters and the conference agenda – according to the RSM’s Mrs Jo Parkinson, they were “inundated”; all those who raised awareness of the various protests on websites, forums, e-lists and social networking sites and all those who agitated before and following the conference for transcripts and videos of the presentations to be made available on the RSM’s website.

“On a Postcard, please” Campaign Co-ordinator
