Interesting reading, especially about the handling of volunteers. As someone who deals with WMUK and its WiR folk in various ways, I wouldn't describe its responsiveness as exactly slick; and it seems the FDC is voicing something of what I feel, in different language. There may have been a one-off advantage gained from the weak pound, so let's hope this year's successful bid can be leveraged into some further progress.
