<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John Smith and I met with Gary Roche this lunch
time (Monday). We said we were organising a peaceful demo with the purpose of
telling the people of Sheffield and beyond how we feel about the G8. We want to
hold it at the end of the working day on the Wednesday when the G8 arrive, to
meet and march and rally in the city centre.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gary said that the area near the Winter Gardens
would be out of bounds from noon onwards on the Wednesday and the
area near the Cutlers Hall from noon onwards on the Thursday. He didn't say
exactly what the nature of the closure would be - shops and businesses have not
been told they have to close, this is an exaggerated rumour. But they definitely
wouldn't want anyone processing past those buildings. He didn't say how wide the
"cordon" would be, but that the Peace Gardens on Wednesday and Fargate on
Thursday would be " a little close for comfort". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He suggested rallying on Devonshire Green. John
said what about somewhere on the Hallam campus - Gary didn't give an answer to
that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a form on which to suggest a route but Gary
agreed there was little point me doing so until he could tell me what was going
to be closed off. He was supposed to be phoning/emailing me with further info
this afternoon but hasn't done so yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will keep you posted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please send me any ideas, instructions
..</FONT></DIV>
