Forgot to mention this earlier, but didya know that 'brainstorm' in that sense is now considered 'politcally incorrect' in some circles because of it's association with some mental health issues? WTF?
Can't remember what the PC version is.

There's an organization called ASLaN http://www.geniusloci.co.uk/aslan.htm
(inspired by Andy Burnham? Not sure)
which is of good intent but includes EH and NT in their membership and I'm not sure they achieve more than the promotion of general goodwill towards sites, (though I'm happy to be corrected). I think it tends to prove my point absolutely that a Lobby group separate from the Establishment is sorely needed.

Yup!
I just thought the 'for' & F were unnecessary - but I like it anyway!

Mmm. I've come across them at some point & am pretty sure they don't seem to achieve much - so I think you're spot on Nigel.

One big question:
Are we concerned with a snappy name for an exclusive TMA action group or do we hope to attract others with similar concerns and so GROW more powerful?
If we want to be more powerful then we have to seek to influence decision makers and public opinion as well as to sit in front of bulldozers. Think about how allies and enemies may perceive us - then look at names, words and acronyms with a thought for their effectiveness rather than cleverness.
I can only repeat that the scope and purpose must come before titles on headed notepaper.
One little question:
Why are people on TMA so bloody coy about spelling ROMANS and CHRISTIANS?

The answer to your little question is that it's a daft little in-joke that some of us use coz we have our strong reservations about R*mans & xtians...!
As far as your more serious points are concerned ES, I'll leave it to Nigel, as the whole thing came from his origanal thoughts.

I think that it is Andy Norfolk. Don't think it is particularly well endowed with teeth though.

Anything that bypasses EH would be a great step forward! The Stonehenge Solstice Celebration group and round table have been liasing with EH for sometime, and have become VERY frustrated by the lack of any forward thinking and entangled in minute details of access.
People pressure is the best way forward... keep it simple and free of buzzwords and New Labour speak. Folk have been marketed to enuff and don't trust slickly worded promises anymore.... or at least the folk who are likely to do anything.
