My partner and I went yesterday it was our first protest, felt nervous and excited!! We thought it went well too, we thought it was quite funny that the police took our photo and filmed us as we turned up..but I suppose those of you in the know are used to that. Did not know what any of you looked like so could not say hello which is a shame, maybe next time you can describe yourselves Hail to everyone that turned up yesterday, WE WILL CONQUER THE LAB!!

Mel there's a pic of me on here somewhere and one on my profile at VF. I wish I could get some decent pics of myself, I always think I look terrible on pics.

How did the demo outside the exporter's go? We were a little nervous about going to that, so went for beer instead....

LOL@went for a beer. I love a bit of confrontation if someone forces it on me. We went in one car, me and three others and we were the 1st ones there. We parked up just outside their house and pretended to read a map while we waited for the others. Then the "targets" came out in their vans and we were blocking them so had to move. Our driver was a bit nervous so we left it. But apparently, 12 others turned up but I dont know how it went!!

Demo outside the exporters? Exporters of what? I don't know anything about this as we had to leave as soon as the march got back to Moreton Station because our driver needed to get back early or I'm sure we would have joined this.

I'll answer my own question then: The Encaenia Ceremony Honouring those most in the pocket of Oxford University!
Demonstration - Wednesday 21st June Meet: 10am Sheldonian Theatre - Broad Street
A chance to expose the cruel side that Oxford University wants to hide away! www.speakcampaigns.org.uk/Should be fun, but I can't make it Also there is a big demo on 1st July, according to the AR 2006 site. I will make that one

No I am not allowed to go to ANY animal rights demos until the end of my court case. The trial date is Febuary 26 2007 and by that time I would have been on bail for almost 2 years. You should come to my workshop if you get to the gathering. Yes it's a pain in the but what can I say. It nothing more than a police tactic to keep a few of us out of action.

So they take away your right to protest peacefully .... Sounds counter-productive to me. Looking forward to all the speeches. I'm gonna try and do everything while I am there - even the early exercise stuff
