Stempra newsletter - Summer 2006

paper. Our thanks go to Jackie Hutchinson
for her much-appreciated work printing and mailing out the old newsletter.
From the Chair
Stempra asked over 600 press officers across the UK three simple questions;
- Have you heard of Stempra?
- What do you think of it?
- What do you want Stempra to do?

the results.
