Open letter from the Chair!

Dear Friends of the Riser

So much is happening! So I’m only glad you are not relying on me to report on progress; the website say’s it all.

It’s nearly a week since the last meeting between Young’s and the Roberts. I understand that confirmation of the points agreed at that constructive session is still to materialise.

As you will know we delivered the petition on Wednesday at Wandsworth and hit the Kingston Beer Festival on Friday and Saturday.

We are trying to digest and clarify some of the messages coming from Mr Dardis on Wednesday and Young’s press people as reported in this weeks Guardian.

Much has been going on behind the scenes that will become evident in time.

Thank you to our good friends opposite the Riser for the use of their front gardens for our banner. It certainly highlighted the campaign locally, now we are looking to extend our activity to a wider audience.

We are having a steering meeting on Tuesday night – expect to see some new initiatives.

We still have no indication of how a corporation is going to preserve what individuals have created. We continue to press them to provide answers or an admission that they may have got it wrong this time.

We have a proud history in this town for not complying and don’t intend doing so now.

Kind Regards



Geoff Virgo
Chair
