face=Arial size=2>Tony from the London Anarchist Bookfair organising group here.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have started to think about this years Anarchist Bookfair (Saturday October 21st), and this year we want to plan meetings in a bit more co-ordinated way. There will still be enough space for any groups coming to the bookfair to have a meeting on what ever issues they want, but we also want to provide a number of meetings on specific subjects to get a decent discussion going.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, we thought it would be good to speak to you, the London Anarchist Forum, to see if you have any suggestions. As you put on monthly discussion meetings, you have good ideas of subjects that have been interesting and/or topical. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As you probably know, we
have to charge for stalls and meetings to cover the cost of the venue and publicity. So, we may need to charge for meeting space, but we could chat about this and maybe see if the two of our groups can find ways to raise money for the spaces in advance.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What we were wondering is if LAF would consider putting on a few discussion meetings on the day of the bookfair. Normally meetings are for 1 hour each. This gives time for a decent discussion, but there is no reason why meetings can't be 90 minutes or 2 hours long. This has happened at times in the past.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess we were thinking of discussions that would bring people in and definitely ones that would get people discussing an issue relevant to them - rather than just listening to a speaker for the whole time. They could be aimed at people who have been
in our movement years or aimed at people new to anarchism, as more and more of these people seem to be coming to the bookfair. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We didn't want to think this through much more until we spoke to yourselves, to see if you would be up for it. If the idea is of interest, give me an email back and we can either chat about it via emails, or on the phone, or meet up to chat.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers and hope to hear back from you.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tony Wood</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR><BR><DIV>
