Interesting development - I predicted loyalty schemes would grow more in 2012, such a burden to be right all the time ;o)

If it's on your wall you should seethe word 'actions' underneath it with a small arrow - click on that and you can either edit or remove it. Let me know if this works!

Cheers @robjackson74, we're running a piece along similar lines today/tomorrow, we might quote you if that's ok?
Fine by me
so the youth in deprived / rural areas of the south west don't count then - again the maths seems odd?
I imagine the Scouts etc would have suggested which areas they wanted to focus on @Eddie? You should drop them a line to highlight the need for groups in the south west :0)
