Help shut down Shannon Warport!

The US military use of Shannon airport continues unabated. In the last year there have been 3 protests at Shannon airport, all of which have succeeded in disrupting the operation of the airport to some extent. The next demo is on December the 8th. So come along and volunteer to help out in putting a spanner in the works of Bush's war plans.

There will be a meeting this Wednesday evening to organise for the demonstration called by Grassroots Gathering for December 8th at Shannon airport. This meeting is open to all who wish to help out in organising the demonstration and we would be very happy for people from any political groups or unaligned individuals to attend. Among the items on the agenda we will be talking about:

* Organising buses to get to Shannon and selling tickets for them
* Agreeing poster designs and organising printing and putting them up
* Agreeing the text for a leaflet advertising the demonstration and distributing them.
* Organising a public meeting in the run-up to the demo.
* Discussing tactics for the day itself and liasing with the other groups from around the country.

The meeting will take place upstairs in the Kings Inn pub, on Bolton St, on Wednesday evening (November 20th) at 7pm. Unfortunately we don't really have any funds so the meeting venue is in a pub, however the upstairs is normally empty and should provide a passable venue for the meeting.
