1. Al Asria dance tour postponed

There will still be an event on November 20th venue and further details will be announced later (see www.sheffieldpsc.org.uk)
2. Friday 12th Nov - Naming the Dead
Occupation forces do not keep a record of those they kill in Iraq, officials are quick to gloss over the soldiers ground to dust by the war machine, but for others the dead are loved ones whose memory will always live on. In solidarity with them speakers from trades unions, religious groups, political representatives and many others will read the names of some of those killed by the twisted governance of George Bush and Tony Blair.
Please bring a candle or torch to shine a light for those who have died in darkness.
From 4:30pm, outside the Town Hall, Sheffield
