The food is good and reasonably priced, with plenty of vegetarian choices. So, from 7 pm on Monday 21 August and Monday 18 September, you’ll find Campaign members at CB2, 5-7 Norfolk Street (off East Road). Hope to see you there. | ||

| Wed 27 | 7.30 pm | Newsletter Stuffing – at a new location |
|
One of the more entertaining tasks of producing this publication is the regular ‘stuffing’ of envelopes. A handful of us spend an hour or two putting newsletters into envelopes, over tea and coffee. As the exercise has grown, we’ve decided to move it to a bigger and more central venue: the Baby Milk Action offices, at 23 St Andrews Street (between the Robert Sayle main and computer shop entrances – above Jacobs Outfitters). If you can spare an hour or so, from 7.30 pm on Wednesday 27 September, and would like an easy way to help the Campaign, we’d be very pleased to see you. (Actually, the most entertaining part of all is the review meeting – Tuesday 15 August – where a few of us meet at 8.30 in Tatties for breakfast, pick apart the previous newsletter, and start planning the next one. Again, contributions are most welcome.) |
