BATH STOP WAR COALITION BULLETIN 21 JULY 2008
BATH SWC WEBSITE
Don’t forget that news, announcements, recent bulletins, first class
articles and links to campaigns are all on the Bath Stop War Coalition
website http://www.bathstopwar.org.uk/
BATH SWC REGULAR VIGIL
This Saturday and every Saturday, outside Bath Abbey from 11.30 am
to 12.30 pm, with the focus on “No Trident Replacement”, “Bring
the Troops Home” and “Don’t attack Iran” (subtext
“When will they ever learn????”). Make your views visible with
one of our recently renewed placards or bring your own. For maximum impact
they need to be like a certain Irish alcoholic beverage (not the black
and white one): strong words, softly spoken.
NEXT MEETING THIS WEEK
NOT at the Meeting House in York Street, but at the home of Diana
and Nico Francis at 8 pm on Wednesday 23 July. Important: e-mail
back to postmaster@bathstopwar.org.uk
“Directions” if you need to know the address and how to get
there. Future actions being planned then include commemoration of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki Days (6 and 9 August respectively).
BULLETIN ED TAKING A BREAK
I’m off with my bucket and spade until mid-August, so won’t
be able to publicise the Hiroshima/Nagasaki actions through the Bulletin.
Watch the website http://www.bathstopwar.org.uk/,
or scan the Bath Chronicle for announcements or visit the regular Saturday
peace vigil (days and times above) for further details.
MEETING AT BRLSI
Thursday 24 July at 7.30pm at Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution,
16-18 Queen Square Bath BA1 2HNL: lecture on Zimbabwe by Grahame Pinnell.
He spent his childhood in Zambia & Zimbabwe, where he graduated, then
worked there and elsewhere in southern Africa for many years, promoting
business projects and with international relief organisations. An activist
with the opposition MDC and with friends and family in Zimbabwe, he can
report at first hand on current events. Using his personal experience
Grahame will discuss and illustrate both the history and developments
to date. Members/Students £2, Visitors £4. For more information
see What’s On on the
BRLSI website.
AFTER THE CARNIVAL
Smash EDO thanks all who came to the Carnival Against the Arms Trade
in early July from all over England, Scotland and Wales to join the protest
- a resounding success, surpassing expectations. For more information,
contact smashedo@hotmail.com. Now they need money ... the 'On the Verge'
tour that came to Bath and the Carnival Against the Arms Trade cost a
lot to stage. Donations to the campaign can be send to “Sussex ESF”
- c/o Unemployed Centre, 6 Tilbury Place Brighton BN2 OGY. Their next
big demo is at EDO Wednesday 15 October, meet 12 noon, opposite Falmer
Station (next to the Sussex University sign).
