Upstairs was where Cambridge Indymedia's stall was set up. We screened several films including the amazing "Crowd Bites Wolf," "Another other way is possible in Venezuela," and also "Hardcore Riot Porno". We met several other activists who were interested in media. Outside workshops, speeches and meetings, held by such groups as the Wombles and Dissent went on throughout the day. A bar was also set up and people listened to live music and drank beer. I watched an excellent band called "High and Mighty" play (according to the programme they are Norwich's premier ska band - I have no idea what this means but I think it is good!). Many people came upstairs to listen to them, and towards the end quite a few were dancing!
Overall a very good day: a relaxed atmosphere, and a great opportunity to meet activists from Norwich and the surrounding areas.
