The future of the SPGB’s latest branch is in jeopardy.   The meeting this coming Sunday, 11th March will, amongst other things, discuss the present parlous situation.
Please come if you’re in the area and have nothing better to do

I don’t think it’s that serious, although there are things to discuss I grant you. ‘Parlous’ and ‘jeopardy’ are not words I would use to describe the situation and is more likley to put people off attending than encourage them.
And whilst I welcome open and honesty within the Party, is there a need or tradition to publish full Party internal meeting minutes online in such a fashion?
I am acutely aware that many people would be less than encouraged to attend and contribute to discussions and meetings if they knwo that thier names are to be minuted and then published in such a fashion. This is not an argument for clandestine operation or paranoid secrecy, but I sometimes wonder at the lack of decorum and discretion in the conduct of Party activities…..
