I wish to explain that our local association was wound up, perhaps 18 months ago. It was very difficult to build or even maintain an organisation, once the issue that aroused everyone had been resolved.
People have very busy lives these days. There are so many demands on our attention - not least the internet - that people in cities will not make time for face-to-face meetings. There has to be an immediate pay-off.
It caused me a lot of distress and some still lingers.
I was really glad to lay it down.
I made one very good friend out of the process. I have learned that friendships and groups bond when there is a common struggle. Without a common purpose we relapse back into individualism.
