Groups and organisations I currently belong to
Airplot www.airplot.org.uk
Greenpeace-led campaign against airport expansion, initially focusing on the announced third runway
at London Heathrow. I joined the campaign on 15 January 2009, the very day the British
government gave its official approval to the third runway. In the meantime, the new government
has stopped the expansion plans, and Airplot has shifted its attention to other UK airports.
British Naturism
www.british-naturism.org.uk
Organisation that looks after the interests of naturists in Britain. I joined in Summer 2006,
after having been an 'unorganised' naturist for many years. Since late 2009 I co-ordinate the
newly formed Media - Filmmaking Special Interest Group.
Ecojam
www.ecojam.org
One-stop site for everything to do with ecology and sustainability in Bristol.

Experiment with Light
www.experiment-with-light.org.uk
A movement within the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) that aims at recovering a process
early Friends went through, by a practice of guided meditations developed by Rex Ambler since
1996. Since 2004 I am responsible for their website.

Worldwide internet community of filmmakers who are keen to use celluloid, especially Super 8.
Peace Pledge Union www.ppu.org.uk
Pacifist organisation founded in 1934, a section of the War
Resisters' International (WRI). I joined them at the end of 2008, following 20 years
involvement in the German WRI section DFG-VK, where I was
a member of the national executive (Bundessprecher) from 1991 to 1993.
The Phone Co-op www.thephone.coop
Telecommunications co-operative with a strong ethical foundation. Apart from being a member,
I use their services for line rental, phone calls, internet/ADSL connection, e-mail and Web
hosting.
Religious Society of Friends
(Quakers), Bristol Area Meeting www.bristolquakers.org.uk
Originally brought up Roman Catholic, I have been a Quaker since 1990 (apart from 1995-98 when
I felt more drawn to atheist existentialism and then Buddhism). Since 2002 I am attending
Redland Meeting in Bristol where I was Co-Clerk for three years and am currently
Co-editor of the local newsletter.
Shooting People www.shootingpeople.org
Not as bad as it sounds, this is simply a network of independent filmmakers, mostly in Britain.
I joined them in Spring 2005. A good site to find cast and crew for my own film productions,
to gather useful information on all aspects of filmmaking and interesting projects other
filmmakers are involved in.

This is where I currently work as Senior Assistant Administrator (Finance), following a four
and a half year long stint in a similar role at the Department of Earth Sciences.

Werkstatt für Gewaltfreie Aktion Baden
www.wfga.de
A small organisation that provides training in many aspects of non-violence and campaigns for
a more peaceful world. Having been familiar with their work for many years, I joined them as
a response to the events of September 11, 2001.
Publications I have worked and written for
Graswurzelrevolution www.graswurzel.net
German language non-violent anarchist magazine founded in 1972. During 1996/97 I was part of
one of their editorial collectives and a fairly regular contributor.
(Der) Quäker www.rgdf.de
Magazine that is published by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Germany since 1932.
In 2000 its name was changed from "Der Quäker" to "Quäker" to make it sound more
inclusive. During the early and mid-1990s, I was a very regular author and provided informal
assistance, especially proof reading and editing translations from English into German.
Young Quaker
yfgm.quaker.org.uk/pages/Young_Quaker
Monthly magazine by young Quakers in Britain, first published in 1956. From 1997 to 1999, I was
responsible for managing the subscriptions and some aspects of pre-production, as part of a paid
position for Young Friends General Meeting. In 2009, the magazine's publication cycle
was reduced to 3 issues a year.
In addition, I was Co-Editor of the Europe & Middle East Young Friends newsletter Willy & Penn (1997-2000) and Production Editor of the Victoria & Chelsea Methodist Circuit newsletter Number Eleven (1999-2002). Since January 2009 I am Co-Editor of the Redland Quaker Meeting newsletter.
