We’re looking to have a stall outside the venue, as we’ve done in previous years. If anyone’s interested in helping to run it, please email spgb.campaigns@worldsocialism.org. Any assistance, even if just for an hour or two, would be gratefully received.

Thanks to everyone who came along to Summer School, especially the speakers Janet, Colin, Bill and Adam, and also Dave for helping with the recording and promotion. Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable and interesting weekend – I did.

Speaking of links, here's one to a recent BBC interview with Tony Garnett, who produced some of the dramas mentioned: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07jhsd1

[Mike Foster]

Thanks very much for taking the time to find links to the programmes and people mentioned in the article. It's a shame that you don't get that kind of thought-provoking drama today. My personal favourites are Survivors, Noah's Castle and Cathy Come Home, but they're not the most cheerful of shows!

[Mike Foster]

There are still places left at Summer School, but if you're interested in coming along, please make a booking or let me know as soon as possible. More details can be found here: http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/event/summer-school-birmingham

As always, Summer School will also include a bookstall, with hundreds of titles about politics, society, economics, history etc. For one weekend, it's the only radical bookshop in the whole West Midlands!

[Mike Foster]

Sorry to hear you've been unwell, and I hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a bit early for me to think about what to do with the display after Summer School, but I'll see what I can do.

[Mike Foster]

At Summer School there will be an exhibition on the SPGB's views on money and a moneyless society over the decades. This will include some rarely-seen articles from the Socialist Standard, leaflets, posters and cartoons. More news soon!

[Mike Foster]

The next confimed session is The Root Of All Evil? How money affects behaviour and attitudes: some short videos selected by Darren Poynton.

This will explain how banks work by comparing them with individuals lending money, moneylenders, pawnbrokers, building societies, credit unions, peer-to-peer lending etc and showing how nobody can lend what they haven't got.

[Mike Foster]
