Summer Event 2009

Debate in Parliament


 One of our members has asked her M.P. to help advance the memorial project.
The M.P., Mr. Phil Willis, has been successful in obtaining an Adjournment
debate which will start around 10 p.m. this evening and last for 30 minutes.
This allows Mr. Willis to speak and the Minister, Tessa Jowell, will reply.
The MP has no right of response, but can intervene in the Minister's speech
if he or she is willing to allow it (called 'giving way').  The speech that
Mr. Willis has prepared is excellent.

Comments on Natural History Museum situation


 There is now a tab at the top of this page where comments on the current situation concerning the Memorial Project and he Natural History Museum have been collected. We will try to keep it updated and would welcome comments from the wider membership. The idea is to get as broad a view as we can before the meeting on the 4th April 2009.

The next meeting..an update


 Our next meeting will be on Saturday 4th April. Please arrive as soon as possible after 11.00 a.m. for tea or coffee and a chance to meet with other members. Sandwiches will be served from 12.30 p.m. and our A.G.M. will be at 1.30 p.m.
