Unfortunately, about 9 out of 10 of them have not the faintest idea when it comes to it!!

Anyway, Good Luck with your endeavours out there in the Colonies!
Thanks Hamish, I rather imagine I'll have the same problems here, but there's no harm in trying, I'm an incurable optimist!

You raise some valid points and I would agree with your objections.
the difference is that out here we can mould our group the way we want to, while remaining within the stated objectives of NWC.

for example, our current group "Bravehearts Tasmania" consists of all Christians (while we are not a "christian" group as such and are open to all), that's just the way it worked out. So this tends to 'colour' what we do, going out and getting drunk is not on the agenda

Anyway, I'll see if the idea "flys".
