Regular events

  • Our stall can be found at St. Sampsons Square on Saturday from 1pm to 3pm There are always a number of petitions to sign, information, publicity leaflets and badges are available. When appropriate, tickets for coaches to national demonstrations are also sold.
  • This badge, produced by a local artist, is an example of the resources available from the stall. Show your support for attempts to have Blair tried for war crimes!
  • Planning meetings are held fortnightly normally on the Ist and 3rd Tuesdays of every month at the Friends Meeting House, Friargate 7:30pm. Refreshments are served at the end of the meetings; new faces and ideas always welcome.

    Next planning meeting September 2nd.

Contingency

In the event of an US/allied bombing of Iran, there will be an emergency protest from 5pm to 7pm the day bombings are announced, oppposite the Train Station (by the city walls). There will be leafleting in St Sampson's Square from 12 noon that day, to further publicise this.

It is hoped that this protest will not be necessary; nevertheless it serves as example of our role as a mobiliser of local feeling against the so called wars on terror.
