"As an organisation that targets the interactions between the pharmaceutical industry and the medical profession, Pharmaware is often labelled as a ‘No Free Lunches’ campaign. But as I wrapped the final turkey salad sandwich, and allowed my weary sandwich makers to rest, I wondered if seeing this giant pile of free food would change people’s minds. The next morning, sandwiches in laps and armed with a video camera, we set off to the University of York, where the AGM was to be held. I was a little nervous, as the prospect of running a discussion and a talk weighed heavily on my mind, but on our arrival I soon became settled. It was a small AGM; around 20 people had turned up, but that suited me fine. The atmosphere was relaxed, and as far as I could tell, everyone seemed to be getting along well."
