	Sounds a really good action 
	Jill is considering going down on this bus -    there's a possibility of me going - and ........

		 It would be brilliant if there's a contingent  from round here !   Do pass on ! 
		 
		Background - aldermaston is the centre of the UK's programme to build
		a new generation of weapons of mass destruction - which is planned to last decades
		and cost many many billions of pounds.   
		(If you remember - this was voted on by parliament last year - despite one of the 
		biggest ever "rebellions" by labour mps.)
		Now - when it's just starting - is a good time to make it clear that this is unacceptable -
		and it has to be scrapped !!
		 
		The easter monday event is a national "surround the base" / demonstration there - 
		I imagine there's scope for all sorts of creative activities .........
		 
		Some blurb - from http://www.cnduk.org/aldermaston/

		"The event will be lively, with each gate at the site being linked to a different era - with appropriate decoration and entertainment - and is being organised by CND national and regional groups and people from the wider anti-nuclear, peace and anti-war movements. .

		Groups can come dressed as they want, could be in theme with the gates, or as weapons inspectors, or campaigners from the future, or as nuclear bombs, or flowers!

		The possibilities are endless! The event will be organised using the ' Block' structure so that your group comes ready to take up as much space around the site as possible. We have a website for your 'Block' to add their details and how much space they can take up along the fence line. "

		
		Sounds great !! - lots of creative, fun possibilities.   At the same time, if people don't have time to prepare anything - but just go down for the day - then that's brilliant too !
		 
		I assume you just email kath to book a place on the bus
		 
		xx
		Bob

			Hi Bob

			Sheffield CND are booking a 33 seater coach to go to Aldermaston on Easter Monday. Can you publicise this on your contacts list for us. I think it will cost around £17 but will get more details to you when I have them. The coach is TM Travel so it will start in Chesterfield and then on to Sheffield.

			Thanks

			Kath
