The Climate Camp on its own didn't stop climate change - but it's part of
a growing social movement that can! Come and take the next steps forward
at the upcoming UK-wide meeting on Jan 26-27 in Leeds. Everyone is
welcome, whether you came to the camp, or were simply inspired by it.
Please spread this invite far and wide!

The Camp's at Drax and Heathrow had 4 key aims: popular education,
direct action, sustainable living, and building a social movement to
collectively tackle climate change. Regional meetings have been happening
up and down the country, and the last national meeting was in Oxford .We
will meet in Leeds to collectively share all our ideas for taking our aims
into 2008.
The meeting will start at 11am on Saturday morning and end at 4pm on the
Sunday- although if you can't stay for the whole weekend you are still
welcome!
If you are planning to arrive on the Saturday morning please head straight
down to the venue which is The Common Place, 23-25 Warf Street, LS2 7EQ
www.thecommonplace.org.uk – you can find a map at
http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GB|LS2%207EQ and you will notice that
it is walking distance from the train and bus stations.
If you are planning on arriving the Friday night – before the gathering-
please email
process@climatecamp.org.uk so we know! There will be
accommodation available for the Friday night – but at a community centre
called Oblong ( http://oblongleeds.org.uk) rather than at the Common Place.
Food will be served at the Common Place over the weekend- so please bring
about £10 to contribute towards the food and accommodation costs if you
stay the whole weekend. Of course if you really can not afford it then you
are none the less very welcome!
There will also be a travel pool (whereby people who live nearby and who
have minimal travel costs will be asked to make donations to off set the
expense for those who had to make much longer journeys to attend).
Accommodation is simply floor space- so please bring a camping mat and
sleeping bag. If you have particular access needs, and/or if sleeping on
the floor is not suitable for you please email us as soon as possible so
we can make appropriate arrangements.
If you are planning to bring children who will need child care facilities
please let us at process@climatecamp.org.uk know as soon as possible. The
agenda for this meeting has not yet been set - if you have any ideas about
topics you think it is important for us to discuss, please email

Hope to see you there!
