Avoid the long grass

This campaign tip (no. 71) was published on Tuesday, 12th March 2019
Difficult one to identify this - but where you get an offer / suggestion of a way forward, just have it in your mind that it might be a sideshow designed to help keep you occupied or to help time pass until it's too late for something else to happen.

Yes - I have been "long-grassed" far more times than I like to admit ... I suppose you're getting somewhere if someone considers it worth doing ...

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
