brief tourist guide to where we will all be next June

Next years G8 summitt will be hosted in Evian Les Bains, a gorgeous little French resort near 45km south of Geneva and 450km south of Paris, on the weekend of 1 -3 June. With a population of just 7,500, Evian is a small town. However, despite having a mere 900 beds available to tourists, I am sure we can all sleep on the beach. Anyone know of any plans?

I think the protests are going to be held in Grenoble, which is the nearest big town. Activists in Canada did the same thing last year where thousands marched in Calgary.

Time to plan?

I know its early, but has any group in Ireland made any tentative plans for travelling to G8 next summer? Maybe we should consider forming a representational organising network to do so, get GG, GR, any groups, individuals on board etc. before one group hogs it and we go down the old roads?
