A reminder that the Oxfam South-East Groups Christmas Get-together is
this evening at 6.30 at the Victoria Office, 232-242 Vauxhall Bridge Road,
London, SW1V 1AU (about three minutes walk from Victoria Station
- turn right coming out onto Wilton Road, turn left after Argos, go under
the office over the road, then cross to the far side of Vauxhall Bridge Road,
turn right along the pavement and it’s about 100 yards – the grey building
with the steps and ramp – ring the buzzer outside)

just a quick remind for our next monthly meeting: Tuesday 12th May at 7 pm at the Oxfam shop at 23 Drury Lane, WC2B 5RH, nearest tube stations: Holborn and Covent Garden.

See you there!

It would be great if many of you could come along with questions on the key issues mentioned on the flyer!

It’s a great opportunity to lobby the Eu as the Parliament elections are coming upp at the beginning of June.

Is anyone available to set up a stall? we can go there from 6 pm if we’d like. I am not sure if I can make it by 6 though…

Hope to hear from you soon!

On 28 March, as G20 leaders prepared to meet in London to discuss the global financial crisis, Oxfam campaigners were among 35,000 activists who descended on the capital with this message to the G20: Put People First.
A big thank you Owen, James, Ronel, Marta, Mel, Tony, just to name a few of the Central London Oxfam Campaign Group that came along.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are ready for this Saturday to call on the leaders of the
world’s most powerful nations to Put People First.

There will be a big crew of Oxfam staff and activists meeting at 11am at
the corner of Middle Temple Lane and Embankment. (The nearest tube
station is Temple.) There will be big banners, so even though there will
be thousands of people you can’t miss us! Once you get there, Middle
Lane Temple can be easy to miss as it’s a no-through road. Just
remember that it looks more like an entrance to someone’s private
courtyard when viewing it from Victoria Embankment (along the Thames).
