Despite the endless rain and heavy mud, things are good. We got the tents up early this morning, made banners and hung them from the trees (I must remember to bring WATERPROOF paint next time!!). There was lots of media interest. Unfortunately we couldn’t get the giant No to War banner up across the front of the town hall because it was as big as the building and too heavy for the ropes when wet.
Thanks to everyone who is supporting the peace camp, for the chairs, the Iraqi food, the brazier. We hope to keep going as long as we can. After Monday if we can get enough people who will stay.
So far, there has been no trouble despite this being the city centre on a Saturday, we have had loads of support from people and have made the big frame tent into an open discussion space. Tonight we will have a samba band to drive away the rain.
Please come down and join us. We need people to keep this going. It should be a permanent focal point for peace in the city.
If you can help just come down or email  ros_arnold@hotmail.com or  roserat@btinternet.com to see whats going on after Monday.

Ps. The demo was good too!!
