Portishead? That's north Devon up near Bristol right?

So. anyone up for it? I don't think I am available.

What do people think? Is it too soon for us as a group to do this kind of
stuff?
Do we need to discuss outreach? What kind of groups / people do we want to
reach
and encourage to use indymedia?

What contacts do we already have beyond hunt sabs, genetix, peace groups,
land projects?

Are youth projects a good place to be putting energy? What about
universities, local unions, womens institue?
