  Suggestion: Meet up with another Group to discuss this book.
• 2012 and all that.
  Will the Diamond Jubilee and Olympic Games inspire a collective patriotism?
• Food for thought.
  Food is vital to all. Why is there so little for some and so much for others?
• Women who have challenged the status quo.
  There are plenty to choose from? What made them do it and how did they do it?
• Time to plan the next programme?
  Don't forget the NWR Research Bank and the Programme Pack available from the Office.
