Ditto about the short notice, but hopefully some of you will have heard about this from other sources.

Do you think they should have a bit of feminist input from the outset this time?
And Happy New Year all,
Gail

Towards the end of December we emailed around saying we wanted to call a
meeting to discuss the idea of a London wide conference in 2010 similar to
the Anarchist Movement Conference 2009. See below for the text of the full
email we sent round.

We have now booked a venue for the first meeting to discuss the idea, and
would like as many people as possible to come along and have your say
about whether the event should happen or not and in what form. Obviously
the details will be worked out over a number of months if the general
feeling is the conference should go ahead.

So, please come along and have your say. The meeting is on THURSDAY 21st
JANUARY - starts 7pm. It will be in the function room at the Cock tavern
23 Phoenix Road, London NW1 1HB.

The nearest tube is Euston or if you are getting a bus it's any buss that
goes near Euston station.

Please forward to anybody you think will be interested in London

We are emailing you this as either somebody from London who attended the
2009 Anarchist Movement Conference or somebody who we know might be
interested in having a London Conference in 2010.

After the success of the 2009 Anarchist Movement Conference a few of us
thought we should build on what we started in 2009, and discuss the idea
of holding a similar events in future. Although no countrywide conference
seams possible next year we think a London Conference in late spring/
early summer will be a constructive step with a wider event in 2011.

Initiatives like Radical London and the Red & Black Co-ordination meetings
in 2009 show there is a positive desire to work together in London. We
hope to build on this by bringing together as many people from the London
area who define themselves as anarchists and libertarians over a weekend
to see how we can cooperate better. There is no preset agenda but please
come along having thought about what this conference can do towards making
our politics a real challenge to capitalism and the state.

So, to start of the process we have called a meeting from 7pm on the
evening of Thursday 21st January to see if people support this idea; what
they would like to see from such a conference; and who would be up for
helping organise it. We haven't booked a venue yet as the baby Jesus
birthday seems to have got in the way and all venues (rightly) are taking
a well earned rest. After the New Year we will book a venue fairly central
in London and let you all know where it is. This email is just to get the
ball rolling; get you all talking about the idea after slobbing out over
xmas; and to ask you to keep the 21st free.

Please e-mail us back if you think you can come to this initial meeting as
it helps with booking the right size venue.

Nice one

Tony & Andy
