Minutes (16/06/2006)

Apologies: L, I, K,C & R

Proposal that all comments be made through the chair was accepted, but in the light of the small attendance at the meeting this was not of immediate importance.

Treasurer's Report

- Funds currently stand at £20. With J leaving the money is being held by P to be passed to the new treasurer (L) as soon as possible.

Black Star No. 4

- D is currently short for time, so if any member can take on the responsibility of writing an article on the closures of Ryton & HP, including a critique of the unions (see below) then that would be greatly appreciated.

- by email, R proposed an article on Workplace Bullying'

Stalls

- Stall being held at the Leamington Peace Festival in tandem with Warwick Anarchists. J to travel to Leamington with literature.

- Suggestion that we take an inventory of stall material and literature possessed by members and distribute material so as to have maximum redundancy when running stalls in the case of members being unavailable.

- Could any member possessing electronic copies of the recent anti-recruitment leaflets please email F a copy (email to secretary to forward on if need be)

Ryton

- Postponed a decision on forming a working group pending clarification on what role it would play

- Agreement that we criticize trade union response to closure of Ryton.
