[Ssf] local sf meeting

Tue Nov 30 12:00:53 GMT 2004

I can put a couple of people up, it depends how people feel about 
floors and sofas etc. There is a spare room with aged mattress but the 
Hilton it is not...

That Hillborough thing sounds cool, would be good to keep the activist 
theme going over the w/end. Depends on the venue (size and location 
wise) methinks.

On the Sunday, if we are going to have an action, having St Matt's may 
tie us down (thinking of getting materials together and stuff) then 
again it would be good as discussion/construction space. Also could 
invite others down to join in. We kind of need to know what we are 
going to do and plan around that, if we are doing something over in 
Meadowhall (which I would suggest as Shef is dead on a Sunday and we 
would be protesting to the pigeons) then having somewhere up to 
middayish would be good. So, erm, in conclusion YES! I think:) Cheers,

Jason
