Hi Charles,

Hopefully, there maybe better press coverage of all this year?

Quite a lot so far regionally re: MN Day itself from around the country,

A fair amount reported from Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

London: Tower Hill in the morning hopefully will have a good turn out.

Cheers,

Keith.
