While getting information about drugs to children is good, scientology believes that all drugs are bad, but especially anti-depressants. This may be dangerous for people on life saving medication ie epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, heart conditions. As well as being a PR exercise for scientology narconon is using this to recruit people into narconon/scientology through the back door. Narconon had one drug rehab facility in the uk which is currently closed. Rumours are of another one being opened up. See info about narconon closures in the usa/canada.

^^ Missed part off above! “Beware. This hotel is pumping Scientology to children.” Reviewed 31 January 2013 3 people found this review helpful Having had a family party at this hotel which was of an average standard, the only true positive being its location, we were extremely disappointed as parents when one of our children completed a "dreams and wishes" letter to Merlin. She (aged 8 years) has subsequently been sent now 2 DVD's promoting Scientology. I am not sure of the ethics of advertising to minors - however this seems totally unacceptable to me. I can only advise anyone not to leave any details with this hotel. We wish as parents that we had followed out own intuition and stopped our daughter innocently filling in a letter to Merlin.

Also Narconon at Hastings TN38 0LN, Greenfields School, Camelot Castle Hotel. AMENDED 2013. 10-12 centres. Brighton Org has gone (building for let), Sunderland Org is dead or dying. 8 Missions have closed or are moribund: Bournemouth, Chichester, Hastings, Hove, Poole, Southampton, Tunbridge Wells and York. Belfast (open August 2011) and Eastbourne may survive. NN Hastings was open summer 2012 but may now be closed. Enrolment at Greenfields School is down. The hotel is a sad joke. There are 5 empty and neglected Ideal Org buildings: Birmingham (parts of plot sold off), Brighton, Gateshead (fire-damaged building for sale again), Manchester (planning application failed), Plymouth (empty building, deteriorating). http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthread.php?29834-How-many-countries-are-the-cult-really-in/page11
There's 8 Orgs, and 2 missions left in the UK, Southampton and Bournemouth (3 including Dublin, which CoS does) of the former 15. Sunderland Org struggles to open one day a week.

Possibly Belfast. I need to get round there and see what's up. Last bit of info I got was that one of the guys in charge had dropped dead suddenly around the end of the summer. The place was on it's last legs with their web site gone and not even opening the couple of hours a night advertised on the door.
Would be useful to know who is running scn in the UK, all the recruitment centres (i mean orgs). The purpose of an info dump is that when I direct people to WWP they have got a little lost sometimes, some have never returned, and may still be browsing all the threads. I just needed basic info and pointers as to where to go for further details. Also an uptodate of what/who/where. The more I look the more it reminds me of The Wizzard of Oz, when the curtain is finally removed it will just be a little man behind it (or rather an ancient video recorder playing tapes of David Misgavige) Would be great if you could try and collate this kind of information (maybe start another thread) and then post the links here. Thank you

The Mayor of Westminster welcomed the runners back to London at the end of their 7-day, 130- mile multi-marathonthrough southern England to promote drug-free living.Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 04, 2012 A team of runners carried out a weeklong 130-mile (209 km) multi-marathon through southern England to promote drug education and prevention as a primary solution to drug abuse.The UK Drug-Free Multi-Marathon began April 14 on the steps of Lambeth Town Hall in the south of London. Over the next seven days they ran to East Grinstead in Sussex and on to Uckfield, Brighton, Crawley, Reigate and Croydon, ending back in Westminster in the heart of London.The athletes met local mayors, police officials and educators, introducing them to The Truth About Drugsdrug education and prevention materials: booklets, public service announcements and a hard-hitting documentary that provide factual information on drugs. They also provided drug education lectures in schools along the way and encouraged students attending to take the Drug-Free Ambassador Oath—a pledge to live drug-free and to help their friends and family do the same.The runners were enthusiastic about the response they received, commenting that throughout the route, people honked, waved, and gave them a thumbs-up.The team was comprised of two athletes from London and six Hungarian runners who have carried out annual cross-country anti-drug marathons in Hungary for the past 10 years. To covere 130 miles in a week, runners clocked an average of 18 1/2 miles each day. The event was organized and sponsored by the Church of Scientology of London.To learn more about the drug prevention initiative sponsored by the Church of Scientology or to participate in the program, visit the Scientology website.About The Church Of Scientology And The Truth About Drugs Education and Prevention MaterialsThe Church of Scientology sponsors one of the world’s largest nongovernmental drug education and prevention campaigns. When young people are provided with the truth about drugs—factual information on what drugs are and what they do—usage rates drop commensurately.

The last known LRH PPRO UK was Bob Keenan's former junior, Marianne Rowell. She took over from Keenan when he started working in USA (he subsequently left the SO on an alleged medical leave). Anybody know if Rowell is still on that post? John Danilovich was the last known Captain AOSHUK. Confirmation anyone? It would be very interesting to know who the rest of these execs are. Of these, it is the RTC Reps who are at the top of the food chain and set the "tone" on the UK Base since they work directly for Miscavige himself.
