Dear Friend

Roll UP! Roll Up! Come on Down to the Peaceniks Piknik on Wednesday 14th July at 7pm at Democracy Village, Parliament Square Gardens.

Ok, so stopping the war in Afghanistan and protecting civil liberties is serious business, but we've also got to let our hair down sometimes. With all of us at Democracy Village and beyond biting our nails about whether we're going to get evicted, I thought it was high time we had us some good old fashioned fun, y'all :)

We'll be serving tea and cakes, providing some entertainment from local street performers and artists (and perhaps a couple of special guests), and discussing the way forwards for the Peace, Justice and Freedom movement that's been occupying this important space in the heart of Westmonster.

If you've got some special talents to share, or know someone who has, we'd love it if you or they would come and do a turn for the gathering.

Otherwise, feel free to bring some food and (non-alcoholic) drink of your own, a friend or two and some bright ideas on how we can move forwards in bringing Peace, Love and Unity to our benighted land. We'll be discussing the future of the DV site, how we can carry on as a group if we have to move (bah!) and thinking of some non-violent and perhaps amusing ways to highlight the problems we face as a community and as a country. Hey, perhaps we''ll even change something!

Please spread the word as well as the love, and let's try and make this a productive planning, parlaying and partying evening.

more info about what's going on should appear shortly on facebook (Democracy Village), democracyvilage.org or democracyVillage.blogspot.com. For directions. details, contact Dot on 07796477519
