Here in Sydney i have studied marketing for a number of years and have had the experience with working with SELRAP during my 17 months that i was their from 2004, being here in Syd i have been doing a lot of Market research for them, and when i can, will be there to give them more support.
(Yes, I think Beeching is made the scapegoat for many things he didnt do, but the polititians did in his name)

The power of the internet is still staggering to me, such that someone can assist in a campaign as easily from 12,000 miles away as from Yorkshire. Good Luck
