Saturday 26th April 2008
To all those who attended, thanks for coming along and taking part in Haringey Independence Day last month. About 250 people and over 30 groups turned up on the day. We've had lots of positive feedback and it seems like there is enough enthusiasm for a similar event next year. So we intend to call an initial planning meeting some time in autumn, inviting all those who attended, and anybody else who has shown an interest. If you want to be kept informed please email us at: independenceday[AT]haringey.org.uk
We are also putting into place a few of the ideas that came up in the final networking session, including developing a list of active grass roots, non-party political, campaign groups for the Independence Day website (see Groups active in Haringey), which other groups can either link to or copy on to their own sites. If you know of any other groups in Haringey that fit into the above category please contact us with the name of the group, contact website/email/etc and no more than 50 words about the group.
In addition, if you are involved in one of the participating groups and have an event you would like to publicise, Haringey Solidarity Group has a monthly mailout which goes out to about 80 people borough-wide. Please get in touch if you would like to include something (email to info[AT]haringey.org.uk).
If you didn’t attend the day we have left the web pages of the 2008 event here for the timebeing. These will be changed closer to the 2009 event, but are a good reminder of what happened this year.
