If there is a UK Nnetwork meeting in Aberystwyth, where will it be and 
how many people might turn up?    

I need to get to Aber to put a Plebs' College course in the Library up 
the hill.   I will   take  a bus on Saturday.  arrive 9 or 11,  probably 
leave Aber at about 5 or 7.    Could make  some CD parts of the course 
available. 

It seems the annual Indycymru meeting will be on the 8th dec.  Cilmeri. 
The South Wales Syndicalist Course book might be available there.
