On 19 August 2008 a
meeting was held to set up a SPUC branch in the Swindon area. Peter Smith gave
a presentation on his work lobbying at the United Nations. Following this there
was some general debate, and then office bearers were appointed.
On 5 July 2008 I was privileged to attend George Verwer's 70th birthday
celebration in London with around 300 people who had worked, or currently work, with
Operation Mobilisation (OM). There was a very large group of OMers who had been with
George in OM in the 1960s. It was such a treat to be with these great people.
George mentioned how he had started to get involved with pro-life issues and
introduced me at the meeting. At the lunch after the meeting I met up
with my old friend Gos Hume who used to run the Christian Resources Exhibitions.
