Future events
Our national Campaigner Get-together is in the diary for 12-14 July in the Peak District (foe.co.uk/gettogether), and so we're looking at rescheduling the Northern Gathering to the early Autumn.
We haven't got other regional get-togethers or local campaign and skills training sessions planned in yet. We'll be in touch soon to get your feedback on events you'd like us to organise this year.
In the meantime do get in touch if you have any comments or ideas.
