<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">1) Council meeting (1//05) </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Gillian Creasy debated the notion (which is on the list) telling the police that people wanted to exercise their right to peaceful protest. The discussion has led the police to say that they will retract from the Peace in the Park. (Or not over police it to the same extent at least)
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">The debate got press coverage on BBC radio Sheffield</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Apparently the police are investigating the powers which they will use against protestors and the cordon may not be as extensive as previously thought.
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Jan Wilson, Peter Price, Peter Moore and Peter Scriven (Councillors) said that they would be on the march to protest against war, to tackle poverty, to defend the rights of locals, the right to protest and fair trade. We want to use this to ensure they honour their commitments
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">2) We discussed the right to raid occupied buildings under s 14a which would include all squatted/illegal buildings</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">This means we need a rota of people on the door of the counter conference – also a good idea to make the public feel welcome. Please volunteer a few hours
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Also suggested that there are people who meet interested members of the public prior to the police meeting them, as the undoubtedly will, at the convergence space
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">It was suggested that indymedia live web cameras be used to film the police, as they are likely to behave better if the world is watching as it happens
</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">3) Make Poverty History</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">On the Thursday, the Paupers banquet (I think this has been renamed but not sure to what) will be happening on Devonshire green. We will invite people to eat as most people in the world do – rice
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">If people are able to cook and bring rice, great, if not bring yourselves</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">There was discussion inviting the delegates to prove they are serious about ending poverty and for-going their posh meal to join us</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Suggested that the inviting of delegates and councillors be press released</font></p>
