Here's a summary:-

7th & 8th Sept - Conference against the arms fair, with workshops run by supporting groups and other activists working against DSEi 2003.
8th Sept - Multi-faith silent vigil.
9th Sept - 'Facing the Arms Traders', peaceful demonstration at Custom House DLR station.
10th Sept - 'Day of Direct Action Blockades'.
11th Sept - Demonstration at DSEi delegates gala dinner, central London.
6th - 12th Sept- Other protests and events at the arms fair, and at other sites.
Don't think there's any coaches organized from Oxford.
I believe that there's gonna be a meeting with a speaker from disarm dsei in oxford in the next couple of weeks, which might be a chance to network and get stuff organized.
BTW sorry the links in the article were broken!
