Hello Bell People

Posted here some time ago that I'm very interested in what you are doing about buying the Bell because I'm working on setting up www.peoplespubpartnership.org

Do you have any objection if I promote your share offer across Twitter and Facebook?

Regards

Mark

Thanks. Well. I'm polishing the draft business plan and then it'll go back to all the organisations who've been involved in developing the idea for their once over and after that there are legals to get in place and it should be ready to go in three months...

What you are doing is happening now - and pretty exciting!

Yes it is exciting, even from here, and that bit is just beginning
and i'm sure that things we learn will be useful for what you're trying to do
and of course you should feel free to post about it in that spirit
and i feel sure the attention we get will be useful for us all

Perhaps I don't quite see why we need another campaign when people like CoOperatives UK, Camra. Plunkett Fdn., already have the material: but there's more campaigning to be done than those small organisations can muster, I'm pretty sure, so maybe I have just answered myself... Local is very much the thing, and as long as you're empowering and emphasising that [and that seems to be your general drift] we're heading to the same place.

...and I'm sure our experience will be helpful. happy to chat, very happy for you to repost or talk about what we're doing, use elsewhere, whatever works. And it will work!
