Standing for Women are coming to Manchester!

[Thisisouting]

Morning!

The Brilliant Standing for Women are bringing We Need To Talk to Manchester on the 28th September
tickets

Speakers are
Posie Parker
Hannah Clark (ManFriday)
Jean Hatchet
Anne Ruzylo
Julia Long

It's the same night as the WPUK event in Leeds so if you can't get over there come join the Manchester Meeting!

Tentatively coming out of the woodwork to say I've bought a ticket for this. I've been following the debate over the last few months and I am horrified actually.

Who is standing up for women?

Very few it would seem.

Do we really have to do feminism all over again... flippin eck!

I've bought a ticket!

Excited.

I have a girl crush on Posie.

I’m in the south west and would love to attend but trains are way too expensive. If anyone is going from down this end and is willing to put up with a travel buddy (I’ll pay petrol) then I’d love to tag along.

I have sorted childcare and bought a ticket!

So hope to be in Liverpool on the Tuesday and Manchester on the Friday. Looking forward to it!

See you all Friday week.

What a line up
I'll be there

Going as well. On my own. See you all there!

Have we discussed a mumsnet code? Red carnation? Mumsnet scarf?

Not the Mumsnet haircut please!

I don’t have enough hair for the mumsnet haircut, thank goodness.

Really looking forward to this - slightly overawed to be sharing a platform with amazing women who have been fighting this battle far longer than I have, but who wouldn’t be?

Can’t wait! (Though a little more time to write and polish my speech might come in handy, must knuckle down )

I'm not sure what the mumsnet haircut is and am now a bit worried I may have it!

Hi all
Are they going to do one further south than Manchester but not london either ?
With you in spirit ladies

Ha Mike you'd know if you have it. It's a way of cutting your own hair - you tie it into a ponytail on your forehead and chop the end off before snipping into it. It has varying results, but having seen some mishaps on here I'd say don't try it.

Planning on driving - if anyone needs a lift from the Wirral, please let me know.

Ive just bought my ticket for Manchester, and I cant wait!

Ill be going straight after work so will be hanging round Manchester for an hour beforehand if anyone wants to meet up.

@SwearyG you could try it without the ponytail. It would give your hairdresser something to talk about

MN signal is the badges AFAICT.

Which badges ?

So trim my fringe @YesItsADebate

Badges available from ManFriday's online shop - we need to sell some as the next payment on our yacht is due

Can you sell them at the event do you think??

Oi! Forget your yacht, I need my swimming pool put in first!

@Miketv yes I’m sure we can flog you some badges on the night.

Just a wee bump, since it's this week! Is it sold out, do we know? My badge hasn't come yet I may yet scrawl "Radicalised By Mumsnet" on an address label...

I'm looking forward to it . I posted one of the FPFW videos on my FB, have been very quiet about this on social media, and got quite a positive response!

I'll be in Piccadilly Station at around 6pm. I take it we get an email beforehand regarding the venue? I'd rather have a text to be honest as I can't seem to get my most recent email on my phone. I will be meeting up with a few others there but everyone is welcome.

Actually, if I'm meeting up with others then I don't need a text. I'm just worried I'll miss them. I must organise a contact no from those I'm meeting with.
