A Meeting in an East Grinstead Coffee Shop

Today I attended a mini FZ conference in EG. It was initiated by our own Clive Nicol, and Bill Ryan. Bill is on the Ron's Org Gamesmaster course which is their OT 17,  and has never been in COS! Was a real pleasure to meet them. :)

There were 9 of us. It was a wonderful connecting up of people who'd mostly never met or even e-mailed! We may have the beginnings of another FZ org....:)

Met an ex ED of Copenhagen, another OEC/FEBC, and one with a good tech background. She and her partner were telling us of the opening of RO Copenhagen, where Caspar de Rijk  from RO Holland adressed 50 people.

Several had official  COS certs as to SPness! Even better didn't meet, but have now contact with a reputably superb class 4 auditor. This is a first for London and the south east of England in recent times. Also found out that Clive is a qualified C/S!!!!

Finally one relatively new to scientology, is actually applying what she learnt on the COS personal integrity div 6 course. That she should hold to whats true for her.

Being told she shouldn't go on the internet didn't square with that. Looks like she's heading for her own personalised SP cert. Guess  these will become standard freebies with that course! :)

Account of Ron's Org UK inaugural meeting - 2006

This last week was the first meeting called to establish a Ron's Org for the UK. It was held near Gatwick and was well attended. Around 30 to 40 people packed into the meeting room for an all day session.

Bill Ryan chaired the proceedings and things got underway with attendees introducing themselves. They had come from near and far, some traveling more than 400 miles overnight to be there.

Otfried Krumholtz the Senior C/S from Frankfurt Org then spoke about Scientology and covered the history and development into the early 1980s and how Ron's Orgs came to be. Surprising details of technical alterations in the CofS were bought to light.  Much discussion ensued on the points raised.

The establishment and expansion of Ron's Orgs in Russia over the last few years was especially startling and it does show what can be done when there is an enthusiasm to get the tech applied.

After lunch, with numbers swelling, Erica Hauri Senior C/S of Bern Org (in passing she does the same duty for the Russian Orgs!) gave a talk on the elements of the Bridge. Life Repair, Grades, Dianetics and lower Bridge actions were covered. Also covered were materials of the upper (Pre-OT and OT) levels to those who were qualified for them.  The way in which the 'NOTs Case' was handled in Ron's Orgs was explained and it became clear how this approach was more in alignment with basic tech than was the case in 'some other organisations' and how this factor accounts for the capability to deal terminatedly with this aspect of a person's case which has been reported by so many people who have done it.

Towards the end of the meeting plans were discussed to capitalise on the enthusiasm that had been generated to make a start on getting some delivery in the UK, particularly training but auditing too and this is now on-going.  Already suitable premises have been identified and many of the attendees were chipping in with offers of help and participation.

One remarkable thing was the total absence of harrasment from the CofS - even though they knew of the meeting and where it was to be held. Maybe its not all bad!
