I think any of us in a position to go should try to get there as a delegate of their local StW group. Unfortunately I'm not on sufficiently good terms with mine and I imagine that applies to a lot of us.

I think we should leaflet outside and, if we can find a nearby venue, run a fringe meeting including a showing of Loose Change 2.

Since it is to be held in Friends House, the Quaker headquarters, (Not "Friends Meeting House" which refers to any local Quaker building) we should immediately book another room in that building for that date. If they are all already booked there are a few neighbouring venues which are used as overflows for the Quaker Yearly Meeting when it is held there. One, I think is St Pancras parish hall.
