Many thanks to Richard and Andy from SAS for coming to the North West during their call of the wild tour. They appeciated the timing was off in respect of a certain footie game. Both of them realised that perhaps WK on the wednesday might have been a better option with Edinburgh on thursday! But the tour schedule had been sorted out a good while ago. The two guys are part of the three man campaign team at SAS, but they felt it was important to see other UK recreational water users in their natural habitat, and so have taken time out to tour. Richard and Andy took about a dozen of us through a powerpoint slide presentation outlining some of the issues that they try to tackle. They talked about their philosophy (using humour) and ethics about the way they campaign all on a shoestring. It was interesting that they highlight positives too, such as a cruise ship that uses UV sewage treatment onboard. One thing that did come from the meeting was that unless they know about an issue there is nothing that can be done. So if anybody notices anything that is of concern, please let me know via PM and i'll pass on the info. This includes anybody feeling iffy after being in the lake or on the estuary. If there is something to get their teeth into which can be backed up by hard evidence, scientific or otherwise, they promised to lean on UU or welsh water as appropriate. Again, thank you, to two of the most pleasant people you would wish to meet.

Does anybody know to what extent the outfall at Sandon Dock, or wherever it comes out Wirral side, is treated? I actually work for an aforementioned company and can\'t get a straight answer. Maybe SAS have this info, in fact I\'m sure they will.
