I have been in Armidale. <br /><br />Thinking about your questions, I created a New England New State Movement Group on Facebook to provide one forum for discussion - http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=106438812712957&ref=nf. Please join. <br /><br />A lot of the books and publicity material are no longer in print. However, I can answer queries and post info.<br /><br />Have a chat among your friends and see if you can form a new state branch. This then provides a local forum for discussion.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005668431384229268.post-6147777934436458892010-03-19T12:39:10.576+11:002010-03-19T12:39:10.576+11:00Very interesting read. Hi I'm Mat Harvey, I...Very interesting read. Hi I'm Mat Harvey, I've been reading your blog for quite a while and I'm a passionate new stater. Originally from Tamworth, I'm studying politics at the University of Newcastle. I'm only twenty but it doesn't take a genius to see that the New England/Northern Region is poorly serviced by the state government and that we need our own identity - all you have to do is open your eyes and look around northern NSW. How can I get involved in this movement? How can it be brought back into the publics awareness again? Is their books i can read on this? I know many young disillusioned people in their twenty's who cannot relate to the Sydney government and who are frustrated in northern NSW. I would even go as far to say their is a very emotional element to this whole ideal amongst people of all ages. It's waiting to be tapped into. Additionally there seems such a strong logical case for our own state. I would love to chat to you about this more, <br />regards MatHarvesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341593427185556606noreply@blogger.com
