World AIDS day is on 1st December, as usual. see http://www.avert.org/worldaid.htm if you're not sure what it is, or why!

Last year, a lot of people found that there were no sellers of "red ribbons" near them - it's a constant problem, as so many shops and usual outlets don't carry these because they (wrongly) see HIV / AIDS as a "gay" issue.

If anyone feels like getting a stock of ribbons, they are available from the National AIDS Trust ( http://shop.nat.org.uk/shop ) at £9 for 200 . This year, I'm considering getting a batch just to hand out at work etc ... not sure whether I'd do a formal collecting tin as well, though I might.



"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. ... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars." Martin Luther King
