Agenda

Mayday

This year we have a choice. London. Manchester. Brum.

Most people liked the idea of manchester because it meant getting out of brum and meeting some new people. Plus the added bonus of there being a conflict gig.

No one liked the idea of london due to previous experiences.

concerns were raised as to whether we should stay and support local mayday stuff.

action: J to go to Dissent meeting on following Tuesday and see what's planned.

group to decide whats what at the next meeting.

anti-fash [check list]

Longbridge/Rover

People were concerned that they felt a bit powerless to do things.

In reality theres not much we can do, all we can do is provide some support

action: contact the workers down there that we know. keep ourselves informed. If theres a march like last time go down and show some solidarity. Ask if theres anything needed.

Norwich Anarchist Bookfair

Good idea in principle. But there seems to be loads of other things happening on the same day so it seems unlikely we'll be able to get there for it.

Action: review at the next meeting

Leamington Peace festival

Appears to be the same day as the N.A. bookfair.

After last years sucessfull stall, people were keen to get involved

again this year and go over as a group.

The stall still needs formally booking

action: rebel to take over the organising of the stall and to contact his mate running the event

Community Action June 18th

doesnt seem as if anyone will be avaliable to get down.

action: group looking at a way round that

Social Centres

people were asked if any of the group were involved in Centre 13. None of us are. Discussion followed about the politics of social centres, 'what is a social centre', the problems social centres can create and/or help solve.

Update on the Nursery for those who hadnt caught up on what happened.

Welcome home drink for GT

NEXT MEETING DATE

Friday 22nd April
