			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regular readers will have noticed a common theme running through my posts recently, namely that of the <a href="http://www.ahsstudents.org.uk">AHS</a>. Posts on the <a href="http://www.normanralph.com/2009/02/19/the-ahs-launches-in-london/">press launch</a> and the general publicity surrounding the build up have dominated my blog. This is for the veyr good reason that it has been pretty much all I have been thinking about. Sure, I have been involved in a lot of <a href="http://leeds.atheistsoc.org/">A-Soc</a> stuff like <a href="http://blog.chrisworfolk.com/2009/02/22/galileo-day/">Galileo Day</a> and starting up <a href="http://blog.chrisworfolk.com/2009/02/01/perspective-launches/">Perspective</a> but most of my work has been focussed on the AHS.</p>
<p>I have no doubt that the time spent was worth it, you only have to read the coverage the launch got to see how successful everything is proving to be. Check out a few of the pieces <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/the-march-of-the-atheist-movement-1627061.html">here</a>, <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2009/feb/19/religion-atheism">here</a> and <a href="http://friendlyatheist.com/2009/02/20/atheist-humanist-secular-student-societies-gets-press-in-london/">here</a>. The upcoming xchallenge is to ensure that my work with the AHS doesn&#8217;t detract too much from my current commitments. I mean I am currently a student, hold down a (not so) part-time job, am president of Leeds Atheist Society and president of the AHS. All of these commitments could and maybe should be full time commitments, but I am sharing my time between them. Thankfully, I have the support of friends and family (big thanks to <a href="http://www.dizzymoogle.com">Liz</a> et al) and a wonderful team working with me both at A-Soc and the AHS. </p>
<p>In other news, it is now only 7 weeks until Rationalist Week 2009!</p>
