      European Social Forum in London  15-17 October 2004

      (There won't be meetings on Thursday the 14th but some different opening
events)

      Over 1,000 organisations involved in proposing seminars and workshops

      There were around 900 events proposed by over 1,000 organisations from
campaigning organisations and networks, trade unions, the anti-war movement,
anti-racist organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations, Local Social Forum,
charities and many more. 

      The process of merging these proposals into 180 translated seminars and
roughly 350 untranslated workshops is now underway thankyou also to the
European countries who are helping to give more founding in order not to cut
more.  The European Programme Group and Preparatory Assembly has drawn up a
full list agreed at the  from 3 to 5 September but there will be one more
European meeting in Paris on the 13th of Sept. 

      By the 20th of September the coordinator of the seminar which has merged
during the meeting in Brussels has to send it again to
ukesfcommittee at gn.apc.org and pay by the 23rd of September

      Cost of Seminar to divide between the organizers £250, cost of a workshop
under 75 people £ 75, cost of a workshop for more than 75 people £125

      Demo

      There will be an European demo on Sunday 17th at 1 pm followed by music in
Trafalgar square which is hopefully going to express the deversity of the
movements involved in the ESF in all his spaces (no to cuts and privatisation,
yes to Peace. Let's build it with all our colours and creativity!)
