[UK-CONTEST] WAB Contest

[Mike Farmer]

I think Les G4)GB made a very small error in his original message - he
should have said "there WAS a rift"   the fact that the memories have
deleted the reasons is a good reason why the RSGB AS OUR NATIONAL SOCIETY
should take the LEAD and follow up such events and get put the U back in UK.

I repeat the lead MUST come from the NATIONAL SOCIETY.
