Today I have had to point two people to this list.

The first one I directed to the AFFS site and he could not find the link
to the list.
So for the next one I pointed to the list info page.

Both, provided they join the list will be after UK specific FS related
issues rather than wanting to join the AFFS immediately. 
They should be of great help to propagate AFFS's agenda and would
possibly join up AFFS anyway.

So I feel a link to AFFS website is needed at the list info page so
those who join the list can know one way of how best to participate at
national level.


Hope this is useful to the discussions on mailing lists.

All the best,
