Building on the success of the Wooler BDS weekend, the Coalbrookdale weekend workshops will bring together activists from all over Britain and abroad. This will be a key event where we can share best practice, discuss tactics and develop a co-ordinated boycott divestment and sanctions strategy for 2010.

The accommodation will be in Youth Hostel with en-suite facilities in all rooms. We will have sole use of the building. Simple meals will be available. There are places available at present, but they are going fast. More details will be available to participants closer to the time.
