Making the most of the recent warm days walking on the beach, I have found myself there at that time when the tide has already turned, and the initial sudden surges, and equally rapid retreats, have begun to turn into a steady and increasingly powerful flow of water and waves, moving with speed over the sand and rocks. A hope began to grow in me that just maybe, we are about to enter that time when movement, energy and power is released into the Outreach activities of our community here in the UK.
The small team who sent out the recent Questionnaire want to say a very big ‘thank you’ to everyone who filled it in and gave such interesting and thoughtful responses to the questions. As a result we now have a wealth of information, not only concerning people already involved in Outreach, but those who are willing to become engaged in this vital work of the WCCM in the UK. There is a lot of detail to be extracted from all the responses, including ideas concerning potential contacts or places for Outreach that we do not want to forget to act on. Because the people who responded took so much trouble with their answers, we are going to produce a general resumé of the information gathered together with explanatory charts. We plan to have this ready for the next edition of the Newsletter.’.
In the meantime we are working through all the information. As you will understand this is quite a task and we do ask that you will be patient with us while we undertake this work. We will definitely be following up on all your kind offers. They will not be forgotten. We will be making personal contact with everyone who expressed interest. A small number of people who sounded enthusiastic about Outreach, did not leave their contact details. If you think this may apply to you please do contact Sarah in the office. We would be delighted to add your name to the list.
Thank you again for all your support.
