[Ssf] Welfare meeting

[spodulike at freeuk.com]

Thanks Kev. 

Not sure on the publicity front, would be good if someone could just 
change the poster, would need the psd file to do meself. Think the main 
thing is to let everyone who was invited to the last one know there is 
a follow up meeting (Dave?), I'll ring round the contact list from the 
meeting and try and get in touch with relevant organisations also. Any 
ideas of any groups, especially local, who would be interested welcome, 
if you have contacted people please let me know so we look like a well 
organised campaigning machine type thing, or then again maybe not:) 
Cheers,

Jason

also a request to amend the text to (following the quotes):
Following a lively but very serious meeting on disability welfare, in 
which people spoke of many problems including pilot schemes for 
compulsory job interviews for those on incapacity benefit and the 
closing of local centers for assessment tribunals, a second meeting is 
being held to develop some kind of action against the proposals.
