A few months ago I posted about a very close friend of mine whose nephew died at 2 years in a duckpond on a caravan site.

The family have now organised a petition to campaign for safer public water attractions. They'd be very grateful if you could sign the petition \link{http://www.matthewmarsden.co.uk\here}

TIA

Bump. We have just found out that the inquest into Matthew's death is on Tuesday 31st May 2005. As soon as that is over we can then take this petition to number 10. So friends if you haven't yet signed or know anyone who hasn't and would like to - please do. Your support would be very much appreciated. We are trying to get it over 2000 if possible. XX

MrsWood · 30/05/2005 19:42

MerryMetrobaby - I have signed - would Matthew's parents mind if I posted the petition link to another forum I often visit (I guarantee a huge response!)?

Let me know asap!

Thanks

pixiefish · 30/05/2005 19:44

Mrs Wood- as this was started in December you may not get a response from Merrymetrobaby.

From other convos at the time I should think it'd be ok to post this to other forums tbh
