    FFS while we all are awaiting details I am expecting big group will fill the gap between individuals and associations/groups working on tribunals. Tribunals and courts are the only place where this will be resolved.

    In my case, promoter is busy with tribunal. They don't have the time, inclination or resources to help groups to cause hmrc pain or civil disobedience. Big group might be able to do that. My promoter is also going for jr. That said big group again provides a second opinion of facts.

    I understand that big group does not add much value to my situation but all those who are not being supported by promoters will need someone to help them.

    As u said, I am also in it for principle of this legislation.

      I'd like to join and pay and benefit, but if i can't make meetings physically due to work commitments or attend many voice calls (because of work and family commitments), can i still benefit from email newsletters or similar? Not sure what us users can benefit from if we can't provide much input? obviously our money would be beneficial....

      Get my drift?

        FFS, you raise some good points and ones that need to be covered in the constitution.

        I'm looking for a "focus group" to test this which I hope will be ready this weekend.

        Would you consent to being part of that please?

            On the 14-day anniversary of the first proposal for the Big Group, the head-count of £50 pledges for the group is 78, with a further 5 possibles.

            The pledges are:

            - ffs
            - neo222

            As ever, please shout if you see any errors above ...

            BTW - In an early post on this thread I suggested that the 'pledge count' to prove the concept of this group might be around the 100 mark. The reasoning behind this figure was that if we could get 100 members from the IT contractor community fairly easily, then getting 500 members by expanding to other communities would be probably be within reason. And after 500 members, the concept of 5000 members to support long-term action at low individual cost is a distinct possibilty.

            IMO, the figures of 78 members within two weeks is a pretty convincing proof of concept ...

              This is an interesting article. Could individuals make use of this? Is there any truth in this?

                      What's the next step to join BIG GROUP?

                      I would also like to join the group and the £50 starting fee seems totally reasonable.

                      And now, how do we connect all together and start sharing information?

                      If possible, a separate web or forum with strict joining rules; e.g. not easily approachable by HMRC agents.

                      Any ideas?
