The paper version of the Networking Newsletter is now published monthly! This will
enable us to bring you up-to-date information on a more regular
basis. To stabilize our costs, the extra cost of printing twice as
many issues this year will be offset by not using colour for the
events listing and pointing people to this web site for the forthcoming activities and contacts and resources listings. This will allow us to cram more news in, which is what we believe you really want from the newsletter. We welcome your thoughts on this! So far, people seem to like the idea but it's your newsletter so voice your views so they can be taken on board!
For up to the minute breaking news, check out the STOP PRESS section.
If you can't find what you're looking for using our local search engine, then email or ring ([pls use email]) us so we can include the information in future issues.
And finally, assuming you like what you see, then why not take out a subscription today?!
Welcome to the 51st issue of the Networking Newsletter, with stories on success, a feature on "real food" and on local issues that need your urgent support, particularly Nine Ladies - let's make this another "win" for campaigners! There is, as usual, also the latest news on recent actions and current campaigns, plus our comprehensive calendar of forthcoming activities, an online activism section and a huge list of contacts. The newsletter is also available as a 3.6Mb colour PDF file.

Events Calendar
The main events calendar has hundreds of activities and meetings coming up over the next few months. Please use this calendar both to find things to get involved in, but also to plan your activities - try to work with others planning similar things at the time you were thinking of and avoid clashes, where possible.Regular events, such as monthly group meetings and fortnightly working weekends, are listed separately to the main calendar. Not that they are less important but to save repetitive typing!
Please let us know of your activities so we can post them here so others can read them and get involved them.
