Let the people decide, huh?<BR>Therefore as a people let me ask/and or point out:<BR>1. SCAAT might be interested in June 15th workshop. Needs more information <BR>as to where and how.<BR>2. Point out that centre is spelled centre and not center - which is MUCH <BR>UNFAVOURED USA spelling.<BR>3. Understand a choir will be singing in City Centre on evening of 15th <BR>June. Will they then also attend the poverty banquet?along with other <BR>musicians?<BR>4. Should for some reason Devonshire Green be illegally closed or <BR>inaccessible on 15th, point out that Ellesmere Green MIGHT WELL BE a super
<BR>alternative - multi-cultural and accessible.<BR><BR>Regards and best.<BR>Smiley Steve.<BR><BR><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>Message: 2<BR>Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 08:40:24 +0100<BR>From: "Jenny Patient" <JENNY.PATIENT@BLUEYONDER.CO.UK><BR>Subject: [g8-sheffield] The G8 in Sheffield - why does it matter?<BR>To: <G8-SHEFFIELD@LISTS.AKTIVIX.ORG>, <GP-SHEFF@YAHOOGROUPS.COM>,<BR><SHEFFIELDREDROPE@YAHOOGROUPS.COM>, <SHEFFSOCCHOIR@TOPICA.COM><BR>Message-ID: <000c01c559ea$8fdf69d0$6700a8c0@MJDELL><BR>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<BR><BR>Dear all,<BR><BR>I started writing a letter to the paper and it's turned into a bit of a rant, so I thought I'd try it out on you first - I'd appreciate your comments. <BR><BR>Apologies for cross-posting, and congratulations if you're on all these lists..!<BR><BR>Jenny<BR><BR>The G8 in Sheffield - why does it matter?<BR><BR>Many Sheffield people will now be aware that the G8 Interior and Justice Ministers are meeting
