Carefull...whats the betting that the scottish SWP turn up with their birmingham anti-woman vigilante squad ( bham SWP plus MAB) to try and disrupt the meeting? Look out for Ger Francis..he hates women..

although I agree that grassroot organisations are endangered to be taken over by the SWP in general, I don't see any problem with this particular festival.
Mainly because it is women only workshops and discussions, and the (female punk) bands in the evening will be difficult to take over.
