Hi Ursula What I did was do a "drop letter" in every post box (where there was one!) and asked who would be interested. I gave my email address to all. We only have 8 - BUT many houses are students.... It is only btn Bishop and Scott but we have a solid block in the middle of the road. So far no emergencies but we all now have the backup. I am a long distance away from Strubens - but will assist where I can. R
