[LAF] Re: This years Anarchist Bookfair

[justin]

Yes - we should discuss this on 25th and/or have another meeting
regarding this, i think... Maybe people could post suggestions/
ideas/etc. on the list and also any views about whether or not
to organise something...

Apologies for not making recent meetings and being "out of the 
loop" generally... Hope to get more involved soon and should
be able to make the 25th...
