Know when to go

This campaign tip (no. 235) was published on Friday, 23rd August 2019
After an excellent campaign and results, there's such a tendency to carry on to a sequel, or to look to manage the new scenario you might have helped create. Only do so if you're right for that role ...

I will admin to being sad at the way that TransWilts moved forward in the spring of 2018 meaning that the organisation I helped form was no longer appropriate and no longer had a place for me, but hindsight just a year later confirms my decision to look at a new slant and role.

These pages are written by Graham Ellis of Melksham, Wiltshire. Overlapping a life in IT and IT training, with running a hotel and campaigning for improved public transport, Graham has never been quiet - though he's starting to wind down gently now. He no longer takes overnight guests and has stepped doen from the "Community Rail Officer" role which he accidentally aquired. So he now has more time to write pages such as these and to travel in the UK. He'll be delighted to speak with your group or take a look through your case or camapaign, but be alerted that his time is not limitless even now, and he still has to keep the wolf from the door.

What a difference a campaign makes!

It probably wouldn't have happened without a strong community campaign with which I have been involved. Most days through 2019 I'll be sharing a thought, an idea, a way of working or an experience. Come back here for the links. Discussions via the Coffee Shop Forum - Graham Ellis, 31st December 2018
