A selection of photos to give a flavour of the campaign so far. There were of course
many, many more demonstrations than can be shown here, and no photos can adequately illustrate the
hundreds of hours spent in slow and careful persuasion of opinion formers, MPs, journalists and support of
new members. Although it has been a long hard journey, we have had plenty of fun along the way and
made many new friends!
Larger versions of many of the pictures are available - just click on the picture.
