the key messages across and not let sceptic organisations frame the debate.
Start digging the well
Many of us will be familiar with the Chinese expression that you should not wait for war before sharpening your weapons and you should not wait till you are thirsty before digging the well. Please take the time to review the new guidance and your own marketing material. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that sceptic organisations might start targeting BAcC members more in the near future. The better prepared we are the better we will handle the situation.
The evidence for acupuncture is better than many people realise. There is always room for improvements in communicating this good news story to members of the public.
Mash up the tinned sardines, including the bones. Place in a blender together with the cooked onion, breadcrumbs, goji berries, pine nuts, lemon zest, chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Blend for a few seconds to produce a fairly course mixture. Alternatively, thoroughly mix all the ingredients together with a fork.

Form the mixture into four equal sized balls and flatten slightly. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook the fishcakes for a 3-4 minutes on each side. Meanwhile bring a small saucepan of water to the boil and break in two eggs. Reduce the heat a little and poach for 3 minutes. Arrange two fish cakes on each plate with some salad leaves and top with an egg.
