Directions for Kingsley Hall and Northwood
Kingsley Hall (from Bromley-by-Bow tube station): exit, turn left and walk downhill. Turn off (left) into St Leonards Street and then left again into Grace Street. Powis Road is at the bottom of Grace Street and the Hall is on Powis Road! The whole journey should take 5-10 minutes. If you get lost call 07980 748 555.

Northwood: Northwood is 30 mins from Baker Street on the Metropolitan line. The base is near Watford, just North of London.

Arrestable actions
Participants in civil disobedience actions risk arrest and confiscation of cameras (use disposables!) etc. Supporters, not wishing to risk arrest, are welcome.

"(use disposables!) "

This is the worst advice I've seen on indymedia for awhile. We cannot keep using disposable things, even for the sake of a protest. Get green people, otherwise you're protesting out of hypocrisy.

Dear quirk,

Have you ever had the pleasure of changing a diaper??

Not all of us have time to wash our nappies; some of us have to work you know - on top of raising the children!

Sometimes disposables are a necessary evil, hardly an hypocrisy!
