Date: October 9th, 2008

Greetings to one and all,


We had a really good meeting last week with a good turn out and discussed lots of events and campaigns that we can get stuck into. All exciting stuff, so we're gonna keep up the momentum and have another meeting next week same time, same place. So that's Tuesday 14th from 8pm at The Full Moon Pub. We had lots to talk about last week so below are the events coming up in the next few weeks and at some point we will put together all of the events coming up in
the year in a nice comprehensible calendar. Lovely. Below whis I have put a small agenda together of things we would like to talk about on Tues and if you have anything to add to this then please bring it along and add it to the agenda. The direction the group takes is entirely up to all of us, there are no leaders, so get stuck in! We will have plenty of time to have a pint and chat too just in case you're wondering :)
