I mentioned that to someone the other day who slapped their forehead (figuratively) and declared they had yet to organise those details.

But I think there’s a high likelihood of the meeting being in Leeds at noon, location t.b.c.

hi, I can’t make the meeting but I did one of my jobs from last meeting, write a letter to groups in the region. Are people happy with this? Can I send it out?

Ta,

nab,

Sorry if I’m being thick but I don’t understand what that letter is trying to say nor to whom. The minutes of the last meeting don’t make it any clearer to me. Can you explain please?

Good point. It is for any / all groups up North to contact and encourage them to use the site and to see Northern Indymedia as a resource that can be used. I’ve added a better introduction.

Cheers,
