Action Briefing Dec 2002 - Jan 2003
	The Newsletter of Birmingham Friends of the Earth

Ed Line

Over the last two months - Jenny has had a Trial-By-Motorshow of a first couple of months at Birmingham FOE, James has worked like several Trojans on helping BANG and FOE with aviation campaigns, Dave has been outstandingly tolerant of the chaos of campaigning and plethora of press releases which has taken over the entire Top Office, Chris Crean has cancelled his gym subscription in order to spend more time cycling to public meetings on airport proposals all over the West Mids, and I've been finding out there's actually something rather interesting about economics that can keep me avidly reading lengthy documents on the subject for several hours. Not something I ever envisaged as a dappy arts student a few years back. And all of us spent some happy hours last Saturday dancing on the back of a truck in the pouring rain to the sound of airplanes taking off!

Hope you like this Action Briefing - actually James did most of the work but seems reluctant to take the plunge and write the edline.
