[g8-sheffield] next Dissent gathering: call for agenda items/working group proposals/evaluation

[jane brown]

[please repost where appropriate]

The next Dissent! gathering will be in South Wales,
the weekend of August 6th/7th.  It will focus on
post-G8 evaluation and the future directions of the
Dissent network.  We need the following from working
groups, individuals and local groups (please email
them to Dissentprocess at lists.aktivix.org) 

1) Agenda items

2) If you will be bringing forward a proposal to the
 network, they should also be emailed in advance.
 
3) If your working group will be continuing post-G8,
it will likely be very helpful to send someone to
the
gathering, or send a proposal detailing your future
work.

4) If your local group/working group engaged in some
post-G8 evaluation, it would be helpful to have the
key points emailed to us, so that people can look at
what you had to say.
   
5) We also need facilitators, so if you have some
experience and can help, please reply to this email
(dissentprocess at yahoo.co.uk) letting us know.  New
people are particularly encouraged.
  
Below is the invitation to the Dissent gathering,
with practical details.
love,

---
Over the last 18 months or so, the Dissent! Network
has facilitated the networking of autonomous groups
and individuals to mobilise opposition to the G8
summit in Gleneagles.
 
Now that the summit is over it is time to reflect on
that mobilisation, and consider where to go from
here.
 
With this in mind, activists from across South Wales
have come together to issue this ‘Call Out' to all
autonomous groups and individuals with interest in
the Dissent Network, past present or future, to attend
a
gathering in Monmouth, South Wales over the weekend
of 6th/7th August 2005.

The agenda is yet to be finalised by the Process
Group, but it is intended to consider and learn from
the successes and failures the last 18 months of
Dissent!; discuss if and how the network continues;
discuss support for those that have to deal with legal
consequences following the summit mobilisation; and
consider forthcoming events which some may wish to
mobilise for.
 
The gathering will take place at Highbury Farm,
Redbrook, Monmouth, South Wales. Directions can be
found at http://riseup.net/cardiffanarchists . There
will be space for camping, so please bring tents (or a
friend with a tent!). For those who don't have a tent,
there is a large draughty barn for you to sleep in,
though you will still need a sleeping bag. Food will
be available from the SWAG8 kitchen. Donations
(£10ish?) to cover the cost of the gathering will be
welcome.
 
Booking is not essential, but if loads of people turn
up without letting us know they are coming, we might
run out of food, toilet rolls and vegan sticky toffee
cake. PLEASE let us know if you plan on coming by
e-mailing cardiffanarchists at riseup.net
