This month's victory goes to the Manchester electricians. Another local success is the launch of two new web sites (both developed by the Networking Newsletter!). I'll not give away the rest of the contents of this packed issue, but let you flick through and inform & inspire yourself!
The Networking Newsletter has a 10 year history of helping campaigners in and around Manchester to work together more effectively. The focus is on those who are working for positive change on issues of peace, development, environment, human rights, animal rights and other areas of social justice. But we're also looking to the future and want your views on how you think the Newsletter should develop.
Copies are send out to subscribers, local libraries and outlets such as the Friends Meeting House, MARC the printers, local libraries and MERCi. When the budget allows, copies are also sent to those whose subscription has expired so subscribe today to ensure you keep getting the newsletter! Alternatively, signup for one or more of our emailing lists and receive updates by email.
Send us your news! For up to the minute breaking news, check out the STOP PRESS section.
If you can't find what you're looking for using our local search engine, then email or ring ([pls use email]) us so we can include the information in future issues.
And finally, assuming you like what you see, then why not take out a subscription today or join one or more of our email lists?!

Events Calendar
The main events calendar has hundreds of activities and meetings coming up over the next few months. Please use this calendar both to find things to get involved in, but also to plan your activities - try to work with others planning similar things at the time you were thinking of and avoid clashes, where possible.Regular events, such as monthly group meetings and fortnightly working weekends, are listed separately to the main calendar. Not that they are less important but to save repetitive typing!
Please let us know of your activities so we can post them here so others can read them and get involved them.
Check out the most up-to-date and comprehensive contacts list of campaigners in and around Manchester. We're often imitated, the information copied, but we're never beaten for quantity of contacts and the reliability of them being correct.Enquiries about the Networking Newsletter Project should be made to:
