I recently published the Quarterly report for the EUS OT Committees and the stats for the WUS OT Committees.
Here are the quarterly reports from the other Conts. I cannot be bothered to read them, but specific areas may be of interest to some. I am publishing them all here so there is a public record as they are enlightening as to the state of the orgs. You will note as with the other areas that there is more reporting on the NON Scientology activities (WISE, WTH, Narconon etc) than on getting people into orgs. Where there are any specifics given on people moving on the bridge they are usually “one person started their basics last quarter and they are still doing good…”.
Missing is the report from Africa. UPDATE: Africa now in and at the end of the report. The only additions I have made are to mark the “Ideal Orgs” in red, and in some areas where I noted there were no reports at all from some orgs I noted them. I may have missed some.
The overall picture painted by these reports is that most of these orgs are hobbling along, barely staying alive. Certainly no “massive international expansion” or “straight up and vertical.” The other thing of note is how the “art of sleaze” has permeated all of these “OTC’s” who seem able to make it sound like a major accomplishment that they “worked on” getting “confirms for the event.”
United Kingdom
AOSH UK OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
This quarter has been the most monumental in history with the new Golden Age of Tech II releases, and Superpower and the new Flag Building. We have also just had the watershed news that Churches in the UK are allowed to perform weddings, which is a religious recognition, and first step toward Charity status and great things occurring in the UK and out to Europe and the world!
With many OTC members converging on Flag for the Golden Age of Tech II events and the International IAS event this quarter, the OTC here at Saint Hill have worked heavily on getting people recovered back onto their basics so they are ready for the new releases. This was done with great results.
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
We had a contingent of OTC members at the Release event at Flag. The Golden Age of Tech II auditing and training release event occurred at Saint Hill on the 23rd of November, and OTC did a massive call in, in coordination with Saint Hill, focusing on recovery cycles, and making sure we have all the public in the field to the events here, or at a local org if they were overseas. The event was very, very uptone and the public after the event were waiting up to midnight to see tech terminals! The OTC then helped confirm people to come in the next day to see the new orientation film, and this ended up having to be shown continuously as more people kept coming. The OTC held a large meeting on 5 December and invited the Snr CS SHF to come and give us a more in-depth briefing on the Student hat and answer questions for those who were FSMing to clear up anything they didn’t understand so they can really get people into the org and moving on their line ups.
Following the events OTC members continually encouraged public and OTC members to avail themselves of Golden Age of Tech II. One PC who had been off auditing lines for years was directly routed onto the new GAT II auditing line-up for his grades by the OTC as the first pc for a newly returned Class V GAT II auditor and he continues to make stellar wins!
The D/Chairman Peta Grafton, OTA I/C Lizzy Calcioli and OES John Bruce are on the GAT II Training Line-up Student Hat, and HES Gunilla Gerber is at Flag on her SRD and the Chairman Fran Hutton is at Flag doing the new Advanced Solo. Additionally, 8 other OTC members have now started the GAT II Student hat and also more on other processing actions i.e. Grades, Purif etc.
One OTC member who had done the earlier versions of the Student Hat twice, had a stellar win after just starting the new Student Hat, they said that it had completely changed the way they had been looking at and studying things in general in life!
Five OTC members are at Flag for PURF and/or SRD and are IP with these making phenomenal gains, and another is about to go to Flag to start!
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures to get ready for Golden Age of Tech Phase II.
OT 8, Sue Hollom is the I/C of the Basics Project for Saint Hill OTC, and this quarter has built up the team, and galvanized them into production. They went out visiting people in coordination with the Orgs (AOSHUK & SHF) to get people recovered back onto their Basics, or to put more time on their Basics to complete them ready for the Golden Age of Tech II releases.
They did an amazing job and between the Basics Project, and the OTC Recoveries Project run by OT 8 Hanny Barram they recovered over 65 people back onto their basics. This does not include resigns etc.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
We started the quarter with an excellent Humanitarian Dinner on 14th September which was Indian themed. We had a delicious Indian meal, Indian dancing and music and the Humanitarians were presented with leather jackets, organised by Surinder Bhangu from CLO. At the end of the event the raffle was drawn for the Porsche by Ali and Noor Shawcat who are Diamond Meritorious and Richard Roberts won the car! This was really exciting as he had been on the BP list that week to increase his contribution from Founding Member. He did no less than return the car to the dealer and completed his Humanitarian the same week!
OTC members Shaan and Taylor Young and Natalia Garside organized and held an Ideal Org Fundraising Rounders (a British game a little similar to baseball) games event on Sunday the 22nd of September at the St Hill overflow field car park. They also enlisted help from Delphine Bulger, Holly Grayer, Vicky Guy. There were 48 adults and children who paid to play rounders and purchased homemade cakes, pastries and refreshments. Total raised – £317.57
Everybody came up tone and were inspired to do more fun fundraising activities. They discussed plans for the next fundraising event and set up a meeting to organize it. People who haven’t previously been involved in any fundraising activities are now on board and enthusiastic about participating.
The next event was the Ideal Org Golf Tournament on 28 September at Sweetwoods Golf Course. Ideal Org project members David Banks and Alastair Lycett organized the event with help from many other OTC members. There were 18 golfers who donated or were sponsored for the event which raised £2,275! The Lycett Lions were up against the Banks Braves, the Stokes Sharks, Jackson Jaguars and the Pinchin Panthers. The Pinchin Panthers won, Mark Pinchin, DSA London Org, Charles Jackson PES London Foundation and Nicole Keppler (OT 8) who sunk the winning put! A roast beef dinner followed the tournament and there was a briefing on the Ideal Org strategy and Birmingham Org. The event created a large team who want to help organize the next tournament in April 2014 and raise more sponsorship for Ideal Orgs!
This was followed by various events held at Birmingham Org and Ethnie Ward, who is a staff member, completed her Humanitarian!
Over the year Hamish Bulger, Joe Taffe and Marianna Hurley from the Landlord Office had been working with Frankie McGuigan (OT VII) who was a founding member (£25,000). In October he completed his Humanitarian!
Bonfire Night was celebrated on 9th November at Saint Hill in the overflow carpark. Shaan and Taylor Young who are I/C’s of the Future OTC, organized Natalie Garside to run this event, and she recruited Alex Cronin, Stewart Guy, Marie Douglas, Holly Grayer, Daphne Miltenburg, Dan Garside, Cheryl and Sam Banks. The event raised £1,100 in total and there was a raffle. It started off with a huge bonfire and Alex Cronin set up a BBQ for the children to toast their marshmallows. They loved this and they also had sparklers! Stuart Guy organised and donated the fireworks and it was a fantastic display! Natalie organised 3 people to run the food and sell hot and cold drinks. 40 to 50 people attended over the course of the night including some non Scientologists and one person who has been off lines and hasn’t been at Saint Hill for about 12 years!
The night was really, really amazing. Natalie also had some reaches from people to join the FOTC which is a great win as the group is really expanding out into the field now and getting a lot of young people on board to help! Well done Natalie!
Following promo from the Landlord Office a Basics recovery, Wilf Adams from AOSH UK, walked in and wanted to be one of the first 100 Humanitarians and donated £20,000!
IAS Fundraising Activities and major statuses made.
During this quarter a total of 19 IAS memberships or status upgrades were assisted by the Saint Hill OTC, including 14 IAS annual or Freedom Fighter Lifetime memberships. This quarter also included the brilliant IAS event on 12 October, featuring Chill E.B. which the OTC also supported by getting people to attend, and also helping to get donations at the event. During that same period, a Patron status was completed by OTC members on the Ship and this was also assisted by another OTC member, so outflow definitely equals inflow.
More recently, following the roll-out of GAT II, there have been some further annual and lifetime membership completions, one of which was paid for by IAS Patron with Honours OTC member Mike Todd for one of his staff members. He said that this was a great win for him and he could not think of any better way to reward one of his own staff members than to secure their IAS membership, particularly when rewarded with the complete VVGI’s of the person concerned. A very theta cycle all round!!
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
Our 4D Campaigns project is headed up by OTC Member John Bradley. We have a project to get TAD into the Shops in the surrounding areas, and the WTH into each household around Sussex and Surrey.
This Quarter, we worked on distributing TWTH to Haywards Heath, this project was run by OT 8 Neil Fraser, this has a population of 34,000 and they completed this with all households getting the booklet. 10,500 booklets out in total. They have now started on East Grinstead.
A Scientologist who is in a local hospice, wanted to thank the nurses for all they were doing to help her, so OTC got her WTH booklets to give out to them. Other nurses asked if they could have copies as well until two bundles of booklets were handed out within the hospice to the nurses there.
Our Truth About Drugs Project is headed up by OTC members Frederique Bisch and Evelyn Herbin, both are determined to help handle the drug problems locally and each week have been distributing The Truth About Drugs booklets, to every shop, community centre, police station, library and town hall in towns surrounding East Grinstead and so far have covered all of Crawley, Horley and Lingfield as well as more recently completing the town of Horsham which has a population of about 128,000 people. Between them they have distributed thousands of The Truth About Drugs booklets to these towns resulting in very good reaches for more booklets or information.
In Horsham for example, Frederique and Evelyn visited West Sussex County Council where the receptionist there was very pleased to accept the booklets for her reception desk and then introduced them to a man in the council who is responsible for handling the youth in the area. He too liked the booklets and asked if they could take some booklets to the youth centre for the youths there to read. This was immediately done, and later the same man was re-contacted and he would now like copies of all the other drug booklets, cocaine, alcohol etc. as he said this is what the youths need most of all and so copies of all these booklets will be with him very soon.
Over the last few years, OT Committee members have been diligently distributing copies of TWTH and The Truth About Drugs booklets throughout the local towns and villages and in October 2013 the East Grinstead Observer newspaper reported that “Drug crime falls 40% in one year” and the article goes on to say that in East Grinstead the drug related crime did indeed drop 40% in one year and also that in Crawley town nearby the drug related crime dropped 20% in the same year, and so these statistics are very encouraging and tells us that we need to continue what we are doing to bring help and sanity to the environment around us.

BIRMINGHAM OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
The main focus of production this last quarter has been in the massive amount of work that has been undertaken to get the Org CF and other files in order for the forthcoming move to our Ideal Org.
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
Prior to the GAT II releases, there were briefings at several OT Committee meetings by Chairman Robert Lawson about the preparations for GAT II and all of the OTC had become increasingly excited about what was about to be released. Just prior to the event this included several OTC members making extra payments to future services to flow power to the Org. The OTC helped in various ways to enthuse the public to attend the GAT II events, such as sending emails, contacting public on a one-to-one basis and helping arrange transport to the events. Chairman Robert Lawson has helped in enlightening public both before and after the event. Given that these releases have only just taken place this area of activity is very much IP. OTC member Richard Roberts also put in a large number of hours in helping the renovations necessary at the Org to ensure the new GAT II courses could be delivered.
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures to get ready for Golden Age of Tech Phase II.
Kate Golby was instrumental in getting a field Scientologist who has been off lines for 12 years, onto the Dianetics extension course which she then went on and completed. This person then came to the GAT II events with her daughters. She was very keyed out being in comm again and with the new delivery. What a win for us all.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
The main event this quarter was the Humanitarian Event that was held at St Hill in September. Birmingham OTC and field were well represented at this sparkling dinner. Richard Roberts, Birmingham OTC member won the new Porsche in the raffle and then proceeded to sell it immediately in order to complete his Humanitarian that week! The OTC had held meetings with Richard prior to this in order to help him with planning to make it to Humanitarian.
Another key cycle was when the OTC collectively helped to push staff member Ethnie Ward over the line so as she could achieve the status of Humanitarian. Ethnie is 70 years old and quite a new Scientologist with a big heart. We held a group meeting and then Chairman Robert Lawson spent time with Ethnie which resulted in her finding the funds to complete the cycle – it was very theta!
Ben Ranson worked extensively on research to gather local knowledge to help with promotions for the Birmingham Ideal Org events.
Progress on Files Projects.
The Central Files project has moved on very considerably this last quarter thanks to the efforts of all OTC members and helpers, who put in many, many hours assisting the project that was in the org. A whole area was set up in the org, ‘Grand Central Filing Station’ and in addition to the OTC helpers, other Scientologists came from as far away as Kent and Bristol and stayed over to help. Donations were collected to aid the accommodations requirements for these helpers from the OTC. The OTC also donated a brand-new photocopier, a vital tool in the endeavor. This ran 7 days a week and included ‘curry nights’ for several Saturday evenings as part of the fun!
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
We had a briefing from CCHR on the importance of raising awareness amongst politicians about drugging of children and as a result quite a number of OTC members visited their MPs to raise the issue. This included Kate Golby, Tina Cartwright, Ben Ranson, and others. The OTC also had a briefing re 4D campaigns and as a result several OTC put out TAD booklets at retail outlets and other places including Jon Holloway who did this again at his local chip shop.
Hardeep Jita, Emanuela Shepherd, Kate Golby and John Herring went and assisted at the CCHR demo in October.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since the revelations of Golden Age of Tech Phase II, but in that time OT Committee member Nigel McEnery has magically created a sauna in what was an office space. Helped by OTC Chairman Malcolm Gellatly whose trailer has been in service taking rubble away, the Purification Rundown is shortly to be available and OTC member Tim Clark is first in line (studying the new Student Hat while he waits).
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
Early November was our annual Halloween Party, masterminded by SH OTC member Sue Hollom and attended by two dozen local Scientologists and their kids. Donations for the Ideal Org by way of entrance fees raised just under $350. And a great time was had by all, with scary costumes and fun games.
OTC Chairman Malcolm Gellatly is continuing his successful action of raffling a car; his latest venture is a Mecedes Benz SLK convertible, with more than $2500 raised thus far. His goal for this one is $15,000 to the UK Ideal Org coffers.

4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
An international psychiatric event (International Youth Mental Health Conference) held in Brighton in early October was scuppered when a CCHR demonstration appeared right on their doorstep! Manned by Scientologists from Brighton and East Grinstead, the psychs found out what it is like to have more than two dozen protestors chanting anti-psych messages in their faces! A number of passers-by stopped to share their anti-psych horror stories, and validate our message.

HAPI OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
New OT 8 Eve McKenzie has recently returned from Flag and taken on the HAPI OTC Chairman hat.
One of the first actions she took when she returned is to get busy on getting HAPI ready for Golden Age of Tech II, and building up the HAPI OTC.
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
OTC members helped on Call in for the GAT 2 release event and recovered several public into the org for this. There was highest ever attendees.
The key thing OTC was asked to help on was getting HAPI ready to deliver the Golden Age of Tech Phase II, and required raising money for renos and getting people to help do the renovations. The entrance was done by HAPI OTC David and Eve McKenzie, Dharma Wright and Anita McGuigan OTC plus public David Fraser and Paddy Mulligan and Stephen Larkin helped. Drew Robb’s “Friends of Scotland” LA raised £2,500 for entrance and OTC made up the difference.
David McKenzie is full time on getting the Purif built and ready with lots of support, help from Saint Hill OTC member and ‘Scot’ Stewart Guy on finance and muscle and outflow, both are taking full responsibility to get it done. SH OTC member Brian Wordie is there to working with David. Money raised so far from OTC for this £1,200.
It is a big win seeing the whole image of the Org transformed to an upstat bright fresh space that we can comfortably occupy, be proud to sell books from and introduce new public to. All the staff and public love it and it gave a real boost to everyone.
OTC Chairman Eve recovered 2 people back into the org. One, Steve Brennan had not been in the Org since early 80s. He arrived in Edinburgh at 4.30 (21/2 hrs. before event) and came not only both nights but stayed through Sunday as well. He left with DMSMH and is preparing to begin some auditing next June.

Rod Jones got Vivi Cohen arrived for updates and high crimes as well as routing onto them himself. Tabitha Hardy got Andrew Toomey to the events and the same week routed onto the new Student Hat. Andrew had been blown off lines for almost ten years so this was a big win.
Progress on Files Projects.
With the merge between CC and London org there was a huge backlog of filing to be done.
Many OTC members and London and CC public worked together to clear all backlogged filing of both CF and student files. This took hundreds of man hours and all that remains is the merging of the files once the new ideal files have been made to replace the old ones.
