[kyra]

hi all

as you prob know, bristol stop the war are holding a conference in bristol
on 12th july 2003.  they're sending b-imc slightly mixed messages - on the
one hand james told me that the bstw group felt there 'wouldnt be room' for
b-imc as no access to computers, but now di has asked me to aks whether
anyone would be interested in doing some projection / visuals (?) for it?

cant make it myself, but if anyone's interested in going along and
projecting stuff for them... contact james at venables.plus.com and tell him di
asked us...

anyway
