[imc-scotland-discussion] Groups directory / list

[Ben]

Good work Tom, you diamond geezer...

 I think at that meeting the groups were going going to be decided based on
if they met the PGA hallmarks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peoples%27_Global_Action#The_PGA_hallmarks

I think that would be a good starting point but we may look to include
places like the Bike station ( http://www.thebikestation.org.uk/ ) that
probably wouldn't meet that criteria.
