[syfaslane365] Sheffield Gaza support workshop this saturday - involvement of weapons companies.

[Bob Banks]

Hi folks -

I was talking to a guy called Mike who is involved in starting up a
campaign against sheffield university's deep involvement with weapons
manufacturers like BAE and Boeing.  He's possibly doing a session at the
Gaza support workshop this saturday in sheffiled (see below).  About the
deep involvement of the arms manufacturers - and the universities who
support them - in the attacks on Gaza - and what we can do about it. But
would need - at least - someone to facilitate the session with him .
Some (not lots of) knowledge of arms trade issues might be helpful - but
not essential - alternatively - ability in giving moral support in
getting a discussion going etc. could be great - or ........

I have his number - but not on me  - so contact me (07799 470898 / 01433
630949 or email) and / or dave (cc-ed) if possily able to help. And
please pass the message on to others who may be up for it.

And even if not - the afternoon looks really worthwhile just coming to!

Hope yr well

xx

Bob
