Below is one CC sent earlier Let's keep a track here of who is doing what, where. Should we have a 'standard' letter that we can send to contacts to get them to send in responses? Presumably we want it much wider than workers. A standard set of points makes it easier for people to adapt it for themselves.

We could set up an on-line survey (using SurveyMonkey) asking people whether they want to abolish the AWB - with straight yes/no. I suspect NFU/Farmers Weekly may do a such a survey. We could then go beyond our normal reach by asking our contacts to send on.

Have added some responses - David Hide's Branch and one from Charlie C. David's is probably most useful for other members, while CC's may be useful for other organisations wishing to support farmworkers. But more we have, the more people can choose which points they want to make. Now added Horticulture member's comments.
