Dear Viv, We've had this phenonemon in Scotland quite a bit. It seems to be impossible to get hold of politicians, although at one event last autumn, we did keep an MSP with us all day because he was interested. I don't think we've done anything very special, except to keep very determinedly to the 'programme' , and refuse to be swayed by any extraneous demands. Perhaps we've also shared the problem with the sponsors, who are usually very well aware of the issue ( and often label politicians as some of the underlying problem!) We just bowl along, and refuse permission for any 'speeches' , except for an initial, very short keynote,
