Thank you for letting me know.

do you mean members of these
groups? Or do you mean disabled
people in general? That is, by Disabled People do you mean members of
groups that are grass-roots affiliates of BCODP? Or can
anyone who is disabled/has
a disability/etc. (etc. includes
any term someone might prefer)
be a Disabled Person?

Do you mean simply that if I don't
join a group affiliated to BCODP
I can't have a say in BCODP
(= "Movement")? Or do you
mean that if I don't join one
I am not part of any movement
of disabled people (etc. as above)
in the UK?
If so: what right have you -- or
has anyone else -- to say this?
