[Cc-webedit] events for the website - Get involved with the Swoop

[Jon Leighton]

Hiya,

I've done this now:
http://climatecamp.org.uk/actions/climate-swoop-2009/events

Also linked from the front page.

Robbie - would be great if someone wants to take on keeping the page up
to date. We can set up access to the system for doing that. If you
identify someone then let me know.

Cheers
