As well as signing the petition, its also worth considering a visit to Jodrell Bank.
Wifey took me there for a surprise birthday present a few years back, well worth it :thumbup:

Signed up                  (Unimaginable sums of money being thrown at the 2012 games so they try to penny pinch elsewhere)

Signed.

I noticed that this petition doesn't finish until next year when it may be a bit late. However, there's also one which finishes this year along the same lines.

Both petitions signed. We passed Jodrell Bank on the way to Chester Zoo a few years ago and said we must visit. Sadly we never did, but this has rekindled my interest and a Summer visit is on the cards! 8)
