Button pressed

Wed 14th Jan 2009 by Ben Palmer.

Thanks to some generous donations, I've been able to push the print button, ordering copies of our leaflets and posters from our friendly (he knew Jessica for years) printer - 11,000 in total. It sounds  a lot to me, but to get them spread as far and wide as I'd like we'll have to print an awful lot more.

I should have them in time to take to the South West regional CEMACH conference at the end of the month, where I'm speaking once again about Jessica, childbed fever and MEOWS charts, and CEMACH have very kindly let me share their stand at the conference.  I hope as many delegates as possible will take copies away with them, back to the maternity wards.

We're gathering other 'first round' destinations for packs of the literature as well, and some fund-and-awareness raising meetings are being planned where they'll come in handy, but if you have an idea of who might benefit from some copies, please let us know.

It's going to be busy in the coming months, so check back regularly or sign up for updates we're going to need some help in more ways than one!
