INFORMAL GATHERING PLANNED TO DISCUSS AN ACTION PLAN

We KNOW that, to date, we have generated great interest and created a large following - throughout the UK and further afield. We are also aware that our idea is working!
For some time now we have been working to obtain official recognition as a viable, successful, positively productive self-support group - we are convinced there is a need for such an enterprise. Lack of success in this direction has given cause for thought.
Looking back over the last few months it would seem that, due to over zealousness on the 'Campaign' front, we seem to have lost the way just slightly.
So, our first thought was an immediate return to the original format of "Self-Help Meetings"
With this in mind an informal 'Get Together' is being arranged - for Sunday March 2, in Woodside Halls, Glasgow.
At this time a mailshot is being prepared with all the details.Watch your letter boxes - and mark the date in your diary.


INCAS SUPPORT Meeting(s) - January 19 - Victim Support Offices, Hamilton.
At this meeting it was decided to concentrate on organising the Informal Gathering.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT 'INCAS' IS INDEPENDENT OF VICTIM SUPPORT

HELP A FRIEND.
We realise that not everyone has access to either a computer or the internet. It would be helpful if those of us who have such access could download the information from sites highlighted and send a hard-copy to those who can't.


For the time being please send any 'Snail Mail' to:

INCAS [Media Office]
First Floor 26 Ivanhoe
East Kilbride G74 3NZ.

IF YOU HAVE NOT CONTACTED YOUR MSP / MP - DO IT NOW
In an effort to prevent the recent "1964 Cut-Off" ruling - described by Marilyn Livingstone, MSP as "arbitrary" - being upheld in the Court of Session we ask supporters to write their MSP / MP asking him/her to contact Jim Wallace, MSP - Justice Minister - to overturn or amend the ruling. Upholding of same in the Court of Session would ensure real discrimination towards clients [some 458 from Nazareth House alone] which lawyer Cameron Fyfe is taking forward.

Time is running out!
