Yes that's right folks, as Gordon Brown (or is it Tony Brown) takes the UK hot seat, SFT UK's new board is already forging ahead. The first ever SFT UK elections held in April this year have given us three amazing new people to represent you, the network of really sexy people around the UK campaigning for Tibet.
In July, the SFT UK Board had one of our bi-annual meetings in London. We said a sad farewell to three founding stalwarts of SFT UK, and a big hello to those three newly elected. Have a look at the pics of our not so swanky, but definitely homely conference venue (thanks guys)!
Since then the new board has been working away preparing for the new academic year. And it's a big one for all Tibetans and Tibet supporters...
As you probably know, the Olympics are in Beijing next summer. The world's focus will be on China and the government is doing it's utmost to show a good face. SFT UK isn't against the Olympics itself of course but China's government is using this opportunity to show the world that all is well in Tibet when we know that's not quite the case! SFT UK will be launching it's Olympics Countdown campaign on Aug 8th 2007, one year before the opening ceremonies in Beijing. Keep an eye out for details nearer the time.
Till then, enjoy the summer, have fun and get in touch if you want to be involved!
