Spook the base! Aldermaston, 30-31 October 2004
BTB | 22.10.2004 10:07 | Anti-militarism | Oxford
INVITATION .. to "spook the base!"
On 30-31 October Block the Builders (www.blockthebuilders.org.uk) will
hold
a training and familiarisation camp on land outside the Atomic Weapons
Establishment at Aldermaston in Berkshire.
The camp is part of an ongoing campaign of resistance to new developments
at Britain's WMD factories, developments which campaigners fear may herald
a new era of British nuclear weapon production (see
http://www.aldermaston.net/tng for more info).
One aspect of the BtB campaign is a pledge (see
http://www.blockthebuilders.org.uk/pledge ) and all pledgers are invited
to participate in the camp. However, anyone who is not a pledger - but is
interested in the BtB pledge idea - is also very welcome to come along.
The camp will be held at Bluebell wood on the A340 between Tadley and
Aldermaston village. For details of how to get there see
