Manchester NO2ID set a new group record at the Beech Road Festival in
Chorlton, with 123 signatures on the NO2ID petition in one afternoon.
Local MP John Leech came along to sign the NO2ID Pledge against ID
cards. Manchester co-ordinator Dave Page said "While Meg Hillier is
holding shady consultations behind closed doors, and having peaceful
activists arrested, Manchester NO2ID is here at the heart of the
community debating the issues of the Database State with everybody."

Manchester NO2ID co-ordinator Dave Page recently appeared on Liverpool's
City Talk 105.9FM on the 105th anniversary of George Orwell's birthday
to discuss his vision of the future in "Nineteen Eighty-Four". An MP3
of the interview will be made available soon.

Upcoming Events
===============

Street Stall, Saturday 9th August, 1pm-5pm
------------------------------------------

We'll be running a Saturday afternoon stall in St. Ann's Square to raise
awareness among the public and engage people in discussion about the
National Identity Register. We'll be collecting signatures for the
NO2ID petition to keep people in touch with the campaign.

Feel free to join us to lend a hand or just chat. You don't need any
experience or equipment, just a bit of time to spare and a friendly
smile!

This month, we're going to try splitting into two shifts - a 1-3 "early"
shift and a 3-5 "late" shift, to get more presence and coverage through
the day. Pick a shift you're likely to make, and if we can get at least
four volunteers for each shift, we'll make a whole day of it!

Simply enter your name (or a pseudonym) and choose a shift at:

Monthly Meeting, Wednesday 13th August, 7pm-9pm
-----------------------------------------------

Manchester NO2ID will be holding our monthly meeting in the Town Hall
Tavern, Tib Lane, Manchester. Sadly, this venue is not
wheelchair-accessible; please contact us on  manchester@no2id.net if you
have accessibility needs.

At our monthly meetings we discuss the state of the NO2ID campaign, what
we've been up to recently and where we're going in future. Everyone is
welcome, newcomer or not, curious or committed. See minutes of our
previous meetings at  http://manchester.no2id.net/taxonomy/term/5

The Town Hall Tavern serves reasonably-priced, good quality food until
9pm so you don't need to pop home for tea - you can even order your
meal brought up to the function room.
