> Dan's working on an informational flyer at the mo, so we can get that
> info out.  For the moment, the official website of ESF is here:
> http://www.fse-esf.org/en/
>
> Dates: 14-17 October
> Prices: £30/ €48 waged - £20/ €32 concessions for unwaged and students*
> If you register now you get a free four-day travel pass for all Londons
> tubes, trains and buses.
>
> Much of the stuff going on will be unofficial and you could probably go
> and have a really interesting weekend without registering if you're
> feeling a bit skint/unwilling to pay.
>
> Timetable of events is still a fair way off I believe, but you can have
> a look at the proposals for official seminars and workshops in a
> searchable form here:
> http://www.fse-esf.org/en/programme/list.php?guesswhatshow=on&stage=1
> You can get an idea of the unofficial programme here:

> Bloomsbury, a more central area near the universities, couldn't tell you
> the main tubes at the moment I'm afraid. In bloomsbury there will be

> of that myself, don't know whether you'll have had to register to get in.

> The SWP initiated Sheffield ESF Mobilising Committee has organised three

> There will be some provision of cheap or free accommodation, although
