WPUK Truro - 9th June

[Writersblock2]

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

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 😁

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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!!! :)

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

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

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

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

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

Ooh do they? That’s pretty cool

Oh @Writersblock2 they’re lovely actually! Shall we get them en masse??

If you want to! I’ve got a pack and will bring my spares. :) :)

Now watch as WTS sells out! Haha.

Trip to Waterstones tomorrow then it seems.

The badges are lovely, I will try and get some. Match my broomstick...

If anyone wants me to grab them a pack just let me know (within reason, can’t guarantee my local will have many).

Corbyn And what a lovely broomstick it is!

Okay, my Mumsnet messages are going a bit Pete Tong and I’m not entirely sure which of you’ve I’ve messaged (you may even have two messages from me). To make my life a zillion times easier, could those of you wanting to do the Mumsnet meet just send me an email via [email protected] with the time you were hoping to get into Truro for (if you can come any time say that) and then I can bcc everyone with meet up details.

Phew! We will get there :)

I’ve emailed you @Writersblock2 and I’m going to town this morning so am going to buy some badges too

@Spartacus - on it!

Someone gave me a set of those badges for my birthday. I'll have one on.

I'm relatively new to Mumsnet so the whole jammy dodgers thing is a bit beyond me. I may bring chocolate digestives, if that's not regarded as factionalism.
