Movers and shakers

A common area for the "activists", whatever they're working on.

Please remember not to make posts public unless they really should be, and use Group topic rather than Forum topic otherwise they are visible to public/all users anyway.

The famous & influencial journalist Dame Joan Bakewell (75) has been appointed by Harriet Harman as official spokesperson for senior citizens.

Dame Joan said: "I am looking forward to being one of many voices making it widely known what it means to be old. With more and more of us expecting to live longer, there are issues that concern every individual: how will I provide for myself; how shall I afford such necessities as heating, lighting and insurance; what will my pension rights be; how much help can I expect from the state? We all - not just the over 50s - need to confront such concerns now so that we move to a reassuring future where people can look forward to enjoying their old age in peace"

She could be a tremendous supporter of our cause. She has megga contacts in the BBC & the media at large

However, I have found great difficulty in finding a means of contacting her!

I have now found one e-mail address where my letter to her has not been returned by the Postmaster.

It has been said that an ex is a has-been and a spurt is a drip under pressure. Ours, however are another matter entirely.

Planning on adding facilities for videos links to be displayed in-site (i.e on the page here). Is this a priority? (I have lots of priorities already!!!)

Need someone to make summary entries for news items elsewhere so that these can all be found in one place rather than spread around the site.

A question has been raised about possible legal liability of this site (and it's administrators and editors) in the event of, for example, libellous postings.

Can anyone handle basic tech support. People having problems logging in, not sure how to post, etc.? I'm getting snowed under with incoming emails.
