The #stall is to take place in the market square, Salisbury on 21 June starting early! We need helpers and stuff to sell so if you can do either or both it would be a great help. We need clothes and small items like china and glass and pictures. Plants are popular (labelled if possible) and cakes, pickles and jams also go well. CDs and DVDs go well. We do not need books thanks certainly in any quantity unless they are in good condition. You can take stuff to Tony’s house in Victoria Road a week before if you cannot make the stall itself. Please price stuff if you can and go up rather than down in your estimate — we can always reduce prices at the end of the day.
We had our monthly meeting on 10 April and these are some quick notes ahead of the minutes which will appear in the ‘about us’

UPDATE [May 2015]: We must record that this money was never received by the group. The £800 received from Bishop Wordsworth school was gratefully received and there was a discussion on how it would be spent

the North Korea campaign action on 15 April was discussed and the string of NK flags was displayed
John Glen’s assistant has now replied and a meeting will be arranged on a Friday evening to fit around JG’s parliamentary activities. Probably June
conference planning proceeds and there was a meeting of the group yesterday. We will be in ‘competition’ with the Cathedral who have half a million of Lottery money plus sponsorship. No reply yet from Robert Key who is chair of their event. However our conference will focus on the actual substance of the Magna Carta and its relevance today ie the human rights angle. The proposed bid to the City Council was discussed and Peter will submit that by Monday
AI’s strategic plan was discussed. The key point here was whether AI was offering support to groups with these campaigns? Recent history is not encouraging. Andrew to circulate for comments
film at the Arts Centre was discussed
the new regional rep. Caroline Butler, is to be invited to the meeting
there is to be a stall on 21 June
10 October is the World Day Against the Death Penalty and the group will be planning an event for that
