Member of the month: Sian Shaw This month, we're pleased to feature Bremain in Spain member Sian Shaw, who's a core member of our lobbying team. During <strong>November</strong>, Sian has dedicated a considerable amount of time to e-mailing MPs on our behalf in order to persuade them to support amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill, and has received positive responses relating to the vital issues of citizens' rights and ensuring that Parliament has a meaningful vote on the final Brexit deal - if, indeed, a deal can be achieved. Sian is 72 years old, and like many of our members, she moved to Spain with her husband in order to spend their retirement here. Sadly, she lost her husband in 2012, but decided to remain in Spain. She stresses how impressed she was with the excellent care that her husband received from the Spanish health service, and says that she greatly appreciated all the kindness she and her husband were shown. She's now been living in Spain for 11 years. Prior to moving to Spain, Sian was a French teacher, having studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. As well as having benefited personally from being an EU citizen, Sian explains that her family has also enjoyed the opportunities offered by the EU, and her daughter spent a year in Seville as part of the Erasmus programme. Sian describes herself as a committed European who believes strongly in European values, democracy, human rights, and environmental protection. She feels that the European project is truly remarkable in that it has shown how countries can work together successfully, and points out that the EU has guaranteed peace in Europe for decades. Thanks, Sian, for all your hard work!

Bremain in Spain in the press Since the last newsletter was published, Bremain member Penelope Middleton Darby was featured - with a mention of Bremain in Spain - in this article by the Shropshire Star, and Coventry University's Joel Busher referred to Bremain in his article highlighting the concerns of Brits resident in Spain. Thought for the month We've been fighting Brexit for a long time now, and it's sometimes difficult to keep on plugging away rather than burying your head in the sand. However, there's some great work being done, and more and more people are speaking out about the downside of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. Article 50 can be revoked and there's still time for Britain to change her mind!
