At the risk of a little thread drift those who have contributed to this thread may like to read about how we dealt with the very first UK AA's dispatch protocols.
I am giving a series of talks as an AA fund raiser and book promotion and produced a booklet to accompany them. This describes how the project came about and is available as a download from the blog section of my website and I think that some parts of the tale will surprise you. Visit
Geoff Newman - ignore the book sales part, go to the blog and download the booklet.
In those days we faced a different set of problems and could only dream of being able to raise the funds raised across the UK today. Imagine what it was like starting off with not a single penny in the pot.
