If it did go to HQ then it is disappointed that it has not been taken up. I am not sure what you can do, other than directly addressing it to Peter Hepburn. |

Thankfully most of our branch gets on alright with each other, but we have had one or two cause probs in the past, and it doesn't make for nice relations at all. My personal bugbear, is the interpretation of the CP guidlines!! I really wish headoffice would once and for all come out with a list of do's and don'ts. Instead of individual branches reading it their own way. ie, some rehome kittens to young families, others won't rehome if under 5's live there, some won't rehome beside a busy road, even if it's an indoor cat only. it drives me potty!!! |

Just to say I fostered and did trapping, fund raising - we still put about £2000 in to our old branch of CP but when we moved despite nice noises the CP here just didn't want to know Having never even bothered to come to our home to see our set up and meet the mob - mainly ferals but some nice ones to and even a rescue raggie live here with us - we have a large house and grounds We still do some local trapping and I neuter, inject and ID chip everything I trap - so far 8 this year and release back outside as most are worse then my own dodgy ferals My outside mob eat the same as my own cats and have heatpads in the winter so no discrimination here! I will say when I fostered we also covered all vets fees, food and litter and our last branch nearly went in to mourning when we moved - I am still active for them and do a charity sponsered walk for them every year - we do 300 miles in the day for that privilage and they get the monies previously mentioned donated every year its so nice to know that our local branches can forgo that money in todays financial climate We also were paid to foster under our employers charity schemes so our last branch still get some of that to as I have 3 older ferals we took on last year - we have done all the good stuff for them dentals injections etc and all now live in our bedroom - their colony was posioned and we aere their last hope |

I carry out PR and marketing for my branch here in Reading; would do more but time just does't permit. It's now a very friendly and on the whole cohesive team, but when I first joined it was run by a bit of a power-crazed woman who picked on me at the wrong time (I was pregnant with my first son; hormonal and had been a bit unwell) and got a strongly-worded resignation letter which was circulated to all comittee members. She subsequently was forced to resign (it was a very delicate operation which was masterminded with precision and timing) and the branch was taken over by the current coordinator who is a real go-getter and has transformed things hugely. She's great to work with and really engenders team spirit. |
