Welcome to the 58^th issue of the Networking Newsletter with 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 high resolution PDF (1Mb) and text only version.

You've probably noticed that this issue is slightly late. This is due to being overwhelmed with the information coming in & thus spending much time keeping the online information, particularly the events listing, up to date. But rather than keep you hanging on until November, I though you'd appreciate a slimmer, albeit a few days late, October version. But two pleas: firstly for you to send in your news & views so we can publicise these to the thousands that read this newsletter and the website. Secondly, if your subscription is out of date please consider renewing or making a donation since the bills are rapidly increasing.

The Networking Newsletter has a 10 year history of helping campaigners in and around Manchester to work together more effectively. The focus is on those who are working for positive change on issues of peace, development, environment, human rights, animal rights and other areas of social justice. But we're also looking to the future and want your views on how you think the Newsletter should develop.

Copies are send out to subscribers, local libraries and outlets such as the Friends Meeting House, MARC the printers, local libraries and MERCi. When the budget allows, copies are also sent to those whose subscription has expired so subscribe today to ensure you keep getting the newsletter! Alternatively, signup for one or more of our emailing lists and receive updates by email.

Send us your news!
Articles for the next newsletter should be sent by Monday 25 October using the online form, by email, to 6 Mount Street, Manchester M2 5NS or by fax 0161 834 5797 (marked FAO: Networking Newsletter). Articles should be 50-200 words long, preferably with a picture or colour graphic, and include your full contact details. Please send us high resolution images (250DPI, full colour and not compressed if a JPEG) so I can use them in the printed newsletter.

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.
