Saturday 17th March, the newly revitalized Sheffield AF group marched into town in British army uniform and set up a recruiting stall; we invited people to defend their government’s right to oil and conquest with their lives and honor. BUT upon nearer inspection the sign up forms turned out to be a contract declaring the undersigned shall NEVARRR have anything to do with the armed forces.

Anti-Recruitment centre proved a roaring success with over sixty people officially de-enlisted in less than two hours!! Stunt enjoyed a very good response from the general public (young and old, drunk and sober) and even solidarity among a few ex-squaddies. At times, the allusion proved a bit too convincing for some early victims of the St. Patrick's Day revelries (in spite of the giant anarcho-syndicalist flag) but after some considered explanation we got the message through and were even treated to some drunken sing-a-longs. Every bit of AF prop we could find was given away, including most of our uniforms/costumes. Oh yeah ... and we confused the hell out of some Mormons.

Solidarity.
