Stop New Nuclear newsletter

Dear all,

only one week to go until our Stop New Nuclear gathering in Bristol on 5/6 November 2011, and we are looking forward to an exciting weekend of discussions and planning. If you have not done so yet, please register for the gathering as soon as possible, especially if you need accommodation. Please also check out our ideas forum, and contribute your ideas for action.

Dear all,

we now set the dates for the first Stop New Nuclear gathering: it will take place from 5-6 November 2011 at The Factory in Bristol. Please mark the dates in your diary - we will soon provide more information and a more detailed agenda for the gathering at http://stopnewnuclear.org.uk/gathering2011.

Photographs of the anti-nuclear march and rally against EDF Energy's plan to build two new mega-reactors at Hinkley Point power station can be found at: http://stopnewnuclear.org.uk/photos. This link will also provide photos of the Stop New Nuclear camp and images of the blockade from Monday afternoon.

More than 150 people marched through Bridgwater today to protest against EDF Energy’s plan for two new mega-reactors at Somerset’s Hinkley Point nuclear power station.

In the first of a series of demonstrations over the next three days, protesters converged opposite EDF Energy’s regional headquarters with an array of costumes and banners before marching through the town centre.

Dear all,

welcome to our fifth Stop New Nuclear newsletter. With little more than two weeks to go, we need to make a last effort to mobilise even more people to the blockade of Hinkley Point on 3 October. More than 100 people have pledged to blockade, and 150 to support - can we reach the total of 300 pledgers within the next two weeks? Or even 400? Please help us to spread the information, and ask your friends, family, colleagues, ... to pledge.

If you are based in London and want to meet fellow blockaders, there will be a training session and get-together this Sunday, September 18th. The session will be from 1pm - 5pm at the London Action Resource Centre, 52 Fieldgate Street, London, E1 1ES. Tea and cake will be available. The session will go through the logistics of the weekend camp and give everyone an insight into the different roles they can play at the blockade itself.
