LONDON DISARM DSEi CALL TO ACTION!

16/03/04 ExCeL CENTRE LONDON DOCKLANDS

10am, Meet at main entrance to ExCeL (nearest DLR Custom House)

Shut down Spearhead: The Campaign Continues.

As part of the ongoing campaign against Spearhead Exhibitions, organisers of DSEi
(Defence Systems and Equipment international) weapons fair, Disarm DSEi is calling a day of action against Spearhead Exhibitions.

DSEi is only one of many exhibitions organised by Spearhead. Between 16- 19 March Oceanology London will be held at the ExCeL exhibition centre in London Docklands. We aim to raise awareness about the links between Spearhead, ExCeL and the arms trade amongst their exhibitors, delegates and the local community, with the ultimate aim of shutting down Spearhead and DSEi 2005.

On Tuesday 16th March, Disarm DSEi is calling for a day of colourful and imaginative action around the Excel centre. Leaflets and other resources will be available on the day or can be downloaded and printed from the website, people are encouraged to bring what they need.

Am I teaching grandmothers to suck eggs........

But is there any way of finding out which organsations are likely to use the services of Spearhead and contact them directly. I think that many of the delegates taking part in the oceanography junket would be opposed to the use of such a company and could exert pressure on the organisers...........

.......... erm just realised its not oceanOGRAPHY it oceanOLOGY, sorry that probably means hoovering what wildlife is left from the sea floor.....
