This campaign tip (no. 100) was published on Wednesday, 10th April 2019
Occasionally take a step back and ask "where am I headed" and "why am I doing this".

Readers of this campaign blog will have noted gaps. I'm doing it because ... I want to ... no great campaign outcome - important for me, but not time critical and I'm going to ask you to bear with me. There have been urgent things in recent weeks which ... should you be reading this in 2020 or 2022 ... will be long forgotten, ut I hope the tips will endure.

These pages are written by Graham Ellis of Melksham, Wiltshire. Overlapping a life in IT and IT training, with running a hotel and campaigning for improved public transport, Graham has never been quiet - though he's starting to wind down gently now. He no longer takes overnight guests and has stepped doen from the "Community Rail Officer" role which he accidentally aquired. So he now has more time to write pages such as these and to travel in the UK. He'll be delighted to speak with your group or take a look through your case or camapaign, but be alerted that his time is not limitless even now, and he still has to keep the wolf from the door.

What a difference a campaign makes!

It probably wouldn't have happened without a strong community campaign with which I have been involved. Most days through 2019 I'll be sharing a thought, an idea, a way of working or an experience. Come back here for the links. Discussions via the Coffee Shop Forum - Graham Ellis, 31st December 2018
