Activists and supporters from around the country will assemble at the refinery site on Friday morning to support the local people in their struggle against Shell and the Irish government's plan to impose a dangerous polluting refinery and an experimental pipeline scheme on them.

November 10th has been chosen to honour the memory of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the other Ogoni activists murdered on this date in 1995 by the Nigerian government at the behest of Shell.

A bus will be leaving from Dublin at 6PM on Thursday 9th. The bus will be returning to Dublin on Friday afternoon/evening. The price for the return trip is €30. To book a place please call 086 853 7281.

Independent travellers are of course welcome, but please call one of these numbers to let the people in Mayo know you are coming: 086 358 8890, or 087 654 3425.

People will be able to stay at the solidarity camp and local people will also provide sofa and spare bed space.

It is very advisable to bring:

A Sleeping bag
Warm, high visibility clothing and waterproofs.
A torch (preferably one of those ones you can wear strapped to your head).
A packed lunch/ food for Friday morning.

There is a local hostel for those who want a little more comfort- to book call 09784621- see www.kilcommonlodge.net for info.

Spending time outdoors in north west Mayo at the end of autumn is a serious prospect. Please bring sensible footwear and warm and waterproof clothing.

The protest on Friday morning will be entirely peaceful, and in support of the local community. There is likely to be provocation from the police and Shell contractors, however no displays of aggression from our side will be tolerated by Shell to Sea.

We actually did stop at a Shell station on the way down last time, but only to use the toilets!

McGrath's don't use Shell or Statoil as far as I know.
