Good points :).. although I think my debts outweight my assets right now :)

Excellent.. as in other mail directly to you, Thanks Jeremy, I shall
do some investigation over this side of the country, and get in contact :)

Of course the next thing, is finding the 5/6 folks who might be interested
in being on the exec ?.. Perhaps a LA rep would be great ?

I think we can take this part of the thread off line, 
and all those who are interested in assisting, let me know via email :)

Thanks Jeremy.

Kim
