Hiya Brook :-)

Thanks for this information, I have put your notice on the front page
of the website @
http://globalclimatechangeaction.org/node/217
also sent invites to all my contacts on facebook and added the event
to my profile.
Is there a contact for Townsville?
I would like to participate.

Cheers
Anne
