>    Those of you who read our circulated report of last month's meeting will be 
> expecting the next meeting  on February 21st, being the 3rd Tuesday in Feb.
> For two reasons I have had to change it. 
> 
> The first is that I have had some difficulties in securing a room for the 
> meeting, but the second, and more important, reason is that we would be 
> missing a good opportunity to spread the campaign on climate change.
> 
> February 21st  there will be a RESPECT rally in the Roscoe building, on 
> Brunswick Street, M/c University. George Galloway will be the main speaker   
> (in a panel of four) and the meeting is likely to be well attended. Respect is 
> one of the organisations which is solidly behind the Campaign against Climate 
> change, and many people at the rally are likely to be interested and 
> sympathetic to what we have to tell them. We can have a stall  outside the 
> meeting with badges, leaflets, a few books, T-shirts etc. & above all there will 
> be some of us there to tell them about the activity that is taking place. 
> 
>   So, if you can come, even if only for some of the time, to help with the stall 
> that would be great. If you have any materials on the subject please let me 
> know. If you can't be there yourself, I can collect materials for the stall from 
> you. The meeting is due to start at 7.30 and I hope to have the stall set up at 
> 7pm. You can attend the rally if you want to. There may be an opportunity to 
> ask questions of the Respect panel on their views about Climate Change, but 
> if you can only spare the 45 minutes before the rally starts, that too will be very 
> useful and welcome.
> 
> Once we have got a "publicity kit" together, I hope we will manage to wheel it 
> out for every event of this kind. Keeping the issue of Climate Change in the 
> forefront of political agendas everywhere. So if you know of an event which is 
> being planned  call us and we'll be there!
>  
> I will send round a confirmation of the regular Campaign meeting as soon as I 
> can firm it up. Provisionally it'll be February 28th at 7.30.  Also expect soon a 
> report of the National Campaign meeting on Feb.11th which we attended and 
> came back bristling with new ideas.
>      That's it for now.
>                              Ewa Barker.
