Plans are also afoot for medic training days and Clown training days to be held around Ireland.

At the moments it's looking like the convergence space will be organised along a "barrio'/'neighbourhood' system, (similar to the No
Borders Camp in Strasbourg a few years back & the Anamasse camp during the G8 in Evian).

It's looking at the minute that the barrio's will be hinged around kitchens... As food is always a natural convergence -a good time for discussion decision making etc...
After some discussion at & after the Festival of Dissent, the Belfast Food Not Bombs crew are proposing an 'irish barrio'. Hinged around a kitchen to feed between 300-500 hungry activists.
We're excited about this & would really like other
people around thecountry to come onboard.

Dissent! are looking for donations through their new website - http://www.tenpounds.org/
Anyone with a paypal account should be able to oblige them.

Big thanks to all who attended and enjoyed our RTS on Monday. No thanks to the boys in blue for illegally searching all participants and trying to re-write history about the 2002 RTS.

To Scotland and Beyond,
DISSENT!

I already have been in contact with many key Belfaster activists from across the Networks who will be travelling on these buses.

Also will be advertising all buses in the time ahead around and within all Networks.

Looks good - looking forward to hooking up.
