Hello Friends!
Hope you're had a fantastic summer! Two last minute things for you:-
Vocal Training
Happening this weekend (Friday 9th - Tuesday 13th September) A time to learn more about the issues, get equipped with resources and training and get to know one another better. There's still places available and it promises to be a most excellent time in sunny shropshire - you don't want to miss this one! I know some people on this list are already coming which is great, but i'm also emailing because.......
Arms Fair
DSEi - Europe's biggest arms fair (thats weapons not humans arms) is happening next week in London, paid for by your money (or your parents money if you're a student or too poor to pay tax like me ;-)
Why should private companies benefit from huge government subsidies to pay for their marketing, such as arms fairs? I bet my dad and his little computer business doesn't make as much profit as an arms company and yet he doesn't get thousands of pounds of subsidies to promote his business!
Does this anger you too? Should our government really be promoting the sale of arms to any old country despite their human rights records? Do you think it starnge that countries at war should be selling their weapons side by side?
IF you do care - then why not come to London on Wednesday 14th of february to be a peaceful, prayerful influence amongst the protest.
Please get in touch if you want to join me (and nina!).
Love from Lucy (0776 4741232)
