Campaigns Dept. Work undertaken by the Campaigns Dept in the previous six months included:   a.. Reprinting the 'Spoof Rail Ticket' that advertises the www.worldsocialism.org website, and which we still believe to be the best campaign 'gimmick' that the Party has come up with in recent years. We hope that Branches and individual members will write in, requesting tickets for local distribution because the response that we have received from people has been overwhelmingly positive, and it has helped to both raise the profile of the Party, and increase the number of visitors to our website.   b.. Liaising with the Publications Dept and cde Pieter Lawrence, we produced a Party leaflet for this year's May Day which was distributed in both London and Glasgow.   c.. Worked with Branches and individual members in ensuring that the Party had a presence at Tolpuddle, the SWP's Marxism event and various demonstrations and other events in the previous six months. (It has to be stated that there has been a fall off of the number of demonstrations -  and the numbers of people attending - this past six months, in comparison to the massive marches and demonstrations that took place in the first six months of last year.)   d.. Met the request from a discussion group in Canterbury, Kent for a Party speaker to address their meeting. Cde Pieter Lawrence volunteered to speak on behalf of the Party, and we understand that it was a useful meeting for all concerned, with the possibility of further requests for Party speakers in the future. The Campaigns Dept proposed plans for the next six months include:         Working with the Publications Dept, other Depts, Branches and individual members in providing a Party presence at the forthcoming European Social Forum that will be held in London over the weekend of October 15/17. Previous Forums, held in Paris and Florence respectively, have attracted tens of thousands of participants, and we feel it is an opportunity for the Party to sell and distribute Socialist Party literature, and to make contact with politically minded people not only from Britain but from overseas. We will be looking to book a Party stall at the event if we can get approval from the EC, and also seek to produce Socialist Party leaflets that will tie in with, and address, the themes of the Forum, in English, French, German and Italian translations.         Following a request from the Election Dept, members of the Campaigns Dept will work with London Branches and other individual members in seeking to organise stalls and other Party activity in the Vauxhall Parliamentary constituency (where Head Office is located) in anticipation of the forthcoming General Election.         Ensuring that the Party has a presence, and leaflets are produced, for any forthcoming demonstrations in the next six months.         Working with London Branches in resuming the running of London Party Day Schools.         Meeting with any requests from Branches and individual members for support in organising mailouts, meetings and/or leaflets for distribution in their local area. On that last point, there is a standing Conference resolution from a few years back that commits the Party to producing a topical month on month for distribution by Branches and other Party members. If Branches and other members indicate an interest in this regular leafleting campaign in their area, the Campaigns Dept is happy to work with other Departments in producing a new Party leaflet for local distribution every month.
