Mary Rose - was our local folk columnist in the Gloucester Citizen till they revamped the whats-on pages e-mailed me with this - any ideas?

Hi chums

One last chance to stop the Act on 24th November, and Save Our Sessions!

Ask your MP to "pray" for you!
Proposal of extended licensing hours and possible 24 hour drinking has invoked the ancient and rarely used parliamentary proceedure known as "praying" - the thing MPs do when all else has failed.

Our MPs have very little time to make their pleas to the Gov. after end of recess, and stop the Act being enforced by 24/11...if enough of them "pray" more committees and EDMs will swing into action, and the whole thing will have to be looked at again.

WRITE TO YOUR MP NOW! http://www.writetothem.com/

Remember, if this Act is enforced, it's "Goodbye" to many informal sessions, village hall barn dances, Harvest Homes, Wassails...a whole way of life for the Folkie becomes unlawful at a stroke.
