Though a disappointing verdict, we must not panick or let our head down. We have to be courageous and remain positive. We all knew from the start that this would not be an easy ride. We cannot give up now, we must gather force and prepare for the next round. We have come this far and to give up now would be a disaster. Together we can go all the way whatever the ultimate outcome may be. Please circulate this email to one and all.
