[IMC-bristol] Conference on 12th July

[James Venables]

Hello,

I thinks it's best to give a bit of background to this so as to explain 
things.

The anti-war conference on 12th July was initially meant to be a 
mini-conference, so as to set the stage for something more comprehensive 
at the end of the year. We ended up merging this idea with a Latin 
American conference pencilled in for late June, & as a result have ended 
up stitching together 2 conferences.

Once the size of it became apparent it became clear we could do with a 
media room. The problem which came up was that to have access to 
computers we would need to open up a new floor & hire security & find 
organisers. We could've been more active it sorting this out, but the 
way this conference has been thrown up has created problems.

 From my end, I've fallen quite ill (I'm going to have to take 2 months 
off, apart from the updates), so I'm going to have to be rude, & pass 
you on to someone else, sorry. I've got a bit more background & contacts 
to give you, but I honestly can't sort this myself as I'm just not well 
enough.

We have a mix up... Indymedia were initially invited, but then they 
weren't, & now they possibly are again. So... we may have room to 
squeeze you back in through a combination of a shared stall, & the 
possibility of having Indymedia visuals in the main hall. Again, I'm 
really sorry I can't sort this out myself, but I just can't.

If you briefly explain to any of the people below that you've been in 
touch with me, & that you understand the mix up, & what may be on offer, 
then things should be sortable.  Anyway, we still aim to have another 
conference at the end of year, & we'll make sure to have plenty of room 
for Bristol Indymedia.
