T&B
I sent an open email to all kindred spirits in my address book (and some potential supporters) yesterday. Dickie Duckett was one.
It seems to have been effective - each time I've looked at the list since, some of the names have been there.
Others might want to do the same.
My email was as per the first post plus 'Please consider forwarding this message to kindred spirits and potential supporters in your address book.'
If anyone wants to copy it to save time - feel free.
