[999nhs-coordinators] COORDINATOR TASKS 24TH JULY - IMPORTANT

Thu Jul 24 14:05:03 GMT 2014

Hello Stewart

I'm already in touch with Nathan Oswin and Sally Ruane.

We have one disability activist, Anne Pridmore, who lives in Harborough who
is going to address our rally and also working on some other names.

CANP (Sally) not able to help - she regretfully said they're putting all
their resources into rally at Leicester the day before.

Am also in touch with some others people who have offered their help (Rugby
TUSC) and Melissa March from Leicestershire Woodcraft Folk.

We're working hard, although you're correct - it's an uphill task!

Regards

Claire
