Oh, what faint-hearted media workers!

The snow means that London transport has ground to a halt, and it would be irresponsible to ask you to get home in the dark in these conditions.

Many thanks to all of you who helped build, arrange and organise tonight's
meeting, which was poised to be an important event as feeling continues to run high within the BBC over the banning of the DEC Gaza aid appeal.

We will attempt to reschedule the meeting at the earliest opportunity.

Many thanks for your support,
