At the moment anyone can come and go. The security people say they will not allow non-students to come in; however, they are not checking IDs at the moment, so if you look like a student or can pretend to be one then please please come along.

Bring people, food, drink, blankets, stuff to do.

NB If you are a student of the university of oxford, there is a possibility of you being fined 70 quid for taking part. However:

1. This relies on them IDing/recognising you.
2. A general amnesty for all who have taken part in the occupation is one of our demands.


Situation:

The proctors have formally asked us to leave. We have collectively responded that at the moment we will not, that at the moment we will not prevent people coming and going, and that we will revise our decisions on these points later.

Demands:

1. That the university change its stance on the governments top-up fees bill: ie oppose it.
2. General amnesty for those taking part.
(There may have been others which I'm forgetting, but I don't think so).

Right. BTW this is a very rushed report. Gotta get back there :)
