All partygoers & gatecrashers are required to bring what they need for a good time: fancy
dress, soundsystems, street theatre, musical instruments, samba bands, party poppers,
Mad Hatters, ladders etc.
SPEAKERS INCLUDE: Political Satirist & Comedian Mark Thomas.
"In March 1999 the UK & US govts announced that NSA Menwith Hill was to become the
European Ground Relay Station for the Space Base Infra Red System (SBIRS) - playing a
crucial role in the American Missile Defense system 'Star Wars'. NSA Menwith Hill is
unaccountable, secretive & out of the control of the UK govt. The presence of this base
means that all our security is at risk particularly because of the role the base played, & is still playing, since the invasion of Iraq."
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Partygoers are reminded this is a peaceful demo & that the land on & around the base must be respected at all times.

2) USAF FAIRFORD GATECRASHERS STROLL
DATE: Fri 4th July. TIME: 3.00pm Onwards
MEET: Fairford High St. (On the junction of Mill Lane & Park St.)
There will be a procession from the village to the main gate of USAF Fairford, where our own 'Declaration Of Independence' will be handed in. The majority of aerial bombing missions on Iraq we're carried out from USAF Fairford (Gloucestershire), reducing the UK to the status of unsinkable aircraft carrier. Fairford has become the hub of the US military machine. It's therefore vital that we expose & oppose the militarisation of Fairford before the next US/UK war of aggression is decided upon.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Partygoers are reminded this is a peaceful demo & that the land on &
around the base must be respected at all times.
FOR MORE INFO Tel: 07748 015601 or 07932 628269

"Members of Britons for Peace (Bedford's antiwar group) will be assembling outside the
Houses of Parliament to demand our independence from America. We feel this day cannot
pass without a body of people present at the seat of British Govt to demonstrate our horror that America's greedy policies have been imposed upon us by the very people who were elected to represent our interests. London, at present, is full of tourists. We can't miss this opportunity to let the world know how we feel. We can't possibly do nothing and let our voice be seen to be silenced. Many other antiwar groups and campaigning organisations have been informed of our plans. Please, please join us! We hope to see you there."

4) USAF FAIRFORD DEMONSTRATION : SAT 19th JULY
DATE: Sat 19th July. TIME: 12.00noon Onwards
MEET: Fairford High St. (On the junction of Mill Lane & Park St.)
"The Fairford Military Airshow (Air Tattoo) will take place from 15th-20th July. This event provides western military powers with the chance to flaunt their power, & an opportunity for arms companies to advertise their wares. This year the B52 bombers that were used for the massive bombing of Iraq will be returning to Fairford, this time to 'entertain' the British people, along with the notorious B2 Stealth Bomber.
People must understand that these weapons of mass destruction are responsible for the
death & maiming of 10's of thousands of people around the world, & importantly that this
mass slaughter has not stopped & will never stop until we say no. Bristol-Stop-The-War will be Demonstrating Fairford on the 19th July, we urge you all to do the same, & to begin making preparations for this event now."
