I had a most splendid time, always good to see everyone. thanks very much for all the work South London comrades put into it and to Jack for putting me up. The food on Sunday was great as well, I think thanks to Jason and button for that (?).

I thought it was productive too, and great to meet the international comrades. Now feeling enthused and optimistic cool

I was going to say it anyway but after I'd finished the essay which is due in at 4pm today. You just imperilled my degree by making me feel I had to post before I had finished it.

I did the soup, Jason did the shopping. Special "hats-off" to Jason for his efforts finding the venue and looking after most of the practicalities for the 2 days. cool

It was productive and I thought things were raised which needed discussing, hopefully we can look forward to another good year

Nice also to meet new comrades I hadnt met previously

Big thanks to the South London guys

Ere can I get a report from one of you lot for Freedom? Deadline'd be thursday say 300 or 450 words?

Actually, fuck this - I'm just gonna delete hostile posts of any shade. An argument that just isn't worth having.

(for context - 1 poster who doesn't like class struggle politics posted something, I responded saying he was hostile to SF and not to bother replying, he posted back, I realised it was cretinous to argue and just deleted all the posts)

Saii - what kind of report? I'd be uneasy reporting anything substantial before reports had been made back to locals is all.

Nothing too in-depth, quickie on the current situation around UK for SolFed, any initiatives coming up etc. Bearing in mind it wouldn't be out until May 5th at the earliest as well (and knowing Freedom maybe the week after wink) so probly wouldn't beat the IB.

Probably best to post a request for a report on the internal e-mail list. If no report is forthcoming, perhaps I could "interview myself" as the secretary of the group that hosted the conference.

So, the button, would you agree that one of the main lessons of conference was that South London SolFed fucking rocks?

Yes. Yes I would.

That kind of thing.
