Comrade from Edmonton IWW is visiting Manchester and we thought of organising an informal discussion event where we can discuss revolutionary unionism, solidarity unionism, organising and politics. He is also in the executive of the IWW and can give a good overview of how IWW is doing in north america at the moment.

Due to basement being under re construction over the weekend, we may be able to meet in the basement on tuesday. But if this fails, we were thinking of going to the nearby pub.

In any case, meet at the basement 7.30pm. Anyone welcome.

Cheers,

JDMF/Manchester SolFed

I'll try and make it, but I don't finish work till six so may be entirely overcome with inertia.

october_lost, you have my phone number right?

If not (and to anyone else as well), PM me and i'll send it to you.

Wont be online until monday though.

In any case there will be someone at the basement at 7.30 if we have to go elsewhere, but i am still being optimistic we could have it inside (maybe foolishly optimistic)

We could meet at the Hare and Hounds. I know it's available that night. It costs a whole tenner to hire .

Sorry this was a blatant lie as pointed out to me by stevil just today. Our local meets first tuesday of the month.

Best of luck otherwise....

If it's the same guy who came to our meeting he had some interesting things to say about the IWW in Edmonton,

Hope it goes well,

Regards,

Martin

Final word is, if its the 29th Preston SF comrades should be able to attend. embarrassed at not getting this stuff right the first or second time.

Hope you found it interesting comrades.

I think overall it was a great discussion even though i would have liked to talk more practical stuff. In any case it was good discussion 95% of the time wink
