Dear Friends
LETS Co-operate has now become part of a much bigger
venue, called the The Solidarity Village which now has
about seventy workshops!
We are expecting thousands of visitors to come to
London for the ESF.  The paragraph below was written
for Indymedia who are publishing a document covering
all the autonomous spaces.  Other paragraphs on
particular projects within the village  that we sent
for inclusion in the main programme are on a page on
our website called PUBLICITY.  We still have some
spaces to fill: if you have not been able to find
space for your event at the ESF please first study the
booking charts on the website and see if you could
join an existing event - contact the presenter direct
if you are bringing a significant number of people
with you, to make sure the room size is large enough. 
If your topic is new or incompatible with what is
already on offer, send in a new proposal to us and we
will try to find space.   At the end of next week we
will put everything together in a printed listing for
the Solidarity Village:
