Hi Folks sorry I have been away for a bit, But my wife had 2 major operations over Christmas and New Year, and I have been looking after her, she is now on the mend.

I am featured in UNISON's U magazine this month, about DWA and my last award.

I was on WireFM last week, when as a result of the Gary Newlove case, Wire FM interviewed me about the Don't Walk Away campaign and I was number 1 on the news all day.

I am seriously trying to get a meeting with the Minister Ed Balls MP the Childrens minister to see if I can get DWA as the preferred choice for Teachers when they teach PSHE alcohol.

Finally I am to be a guest speaker at the National Local Government Association Alcohol Conference next month see the link to the conference.
