Dear All,

I would be very grateful if any members or supporters of the European Group who have contacts in Central / Eastern European Countries (where we currently have no national representatives) could forward on the attached details of our 2012 conference. Countries where at the moment we have no formal links include Bosnia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Ukraine, Latvia and Estonia.

 

It would be wonderful if we could in the near future once again hold a conference in a Central / Eastern European country. One step in the right direction towards achieving this goal is to establish firmer links with critical thinkers in these countries. If you think you can help please let me know (dscott@uclan.ac.uk) or get directly in touch with your contacts regarding the group website, mailing list and our other internet forums.

With best wishes

David
