Come on, you wonderful women, I’m making a last push here to invite you down to Truro, Cornwall. Come and hear Posie Parker, Miranda Yardley, Jean Hatchet and Judith Green speak. You know you want to....

Tickets still available at Eventbrite

Waterstones sells a pack of four amazing suffragette pin badges, if that helps! :D

Where are we all going to find a witch hat badge!

CorbynTrouserPress · 06/06/2018 20:53

Or a witch hat badge, we can reclaim the slur...

Up for a way of spotting fellow MNetters. Not so keen on wasting body cam 😳

Kenworthington · 06/06/2018 19:22

Maybe all mners could wear a pinned ribbon or something so we can recognise each other???

Bump!

I’m (probably masochistically) on low carb again so no biscuits for me! But I think they’re a fab idea. Identify the Mumsnetters by the biccies!!! :)

Protesting against the "No platforming" is quite a good idea. I suggest bring along some Jamie dodgers and a body cam. I bought one for when I attend a meeting, to record any attacks on myself or others by Trans activists, as they make so many threats and have convictions of violence against womwn.

Kenworthington · 06/06/2018 15:16

Dh said he’s going to the pub! So I now have a spare ticket. Trying to get a mate to come

Kenworthington · 06/06/2018 15:15

@CorbynTrouserPress the party bus is sadly fairly empty 😩 it’s so far just me and MissMode!

CorbynTrouserPress · 06/06/2018 12:18

I'm really looking forward to it! It's going to be great to meet so many people from here and elsewhere.

Good on Kens husband for helping the party bus get to the meeting!

RaininSummer · 06/06/2018 10:16

Getting excited for this. Can't wait to be in the company of you awesome people. I really hope we can wake feminism up here in the South West.

Ironically, one reason I'm determined to go is because of the protesters. Not that I mind a bit of protest, I've done a fair bit myself in my time, but actually trying to no platform and prevent the meetings being held... That should be reserved for fascist groups only, not used to prevent women from discussing our position in a sexist society.

So I'm kind of going in protest against the protesters. Maybe someone will now go to protest against people going as a protest 😁

Great news Writers.

From J4nice's posting history today, I suspect J4nice is protesting us being born female, and wanting to talk about it.

Tickets still selling! Someone has sponsored a PA for us, and we’ve had s very generous donation.

I’m truly amazed at how incredible everyone is. This is going to be a bloody brilliant event. :)

What are you protesting though janice?

Wouldn’t it be better to have a cuppa and a biccy, speak to people, put your views forward, they listen to you, you listen to them? Dialogue is usually the way forward - jaw jaw over war war and all that.

Kenworthington · 05/06/2018 17:53

I’ve just bought dh a ticket. He’s giving me a lift so he might as well come in too!
