One of my colleagues (senior colleague, perhaps he would phrase it)
on the N&E Devon LMC is interested in the problems of rural areas in
other counties and would be very keen to exchange information with
you and work toward common interests expressed through the
democratic process in the LMCs conference and so-on.
Nigel Brennan, whose address is a bit uncertain, you could try the
north devon lmc web page which he is evaluating the use of, if you
can find it.
try [log in to unmask]
or [log in to unmask]
you could try the east lmc page which you would get through Excite,
Yahoo, Altavista or Northern Light if you need to, which would at
least allow you to pass a message through the secretariat who have
grasped that if you want mail people need to know when you change
your address.
