Aware volunteers were the muscle behind the dramatic victory of the old guard, who wrestled back control of the feminist orgnisation.
Before the meeting, volunteers arrived at the venue at 7.30am to fill the seats, and ensure that key speakers from the old guard could sit close to the microphones.
During the meeting, they sent out SMSes to voters' mobile phones with instructions such as 'Stay Calm Be Dignified' and on how to fill in the voting forms.
