[Imc-g8-2005] Re: [Imc-uk-network] G8

[Planet Mail]

Hiya,

there will be several trains and coaches put on by the various different 
mobilisation groups - this should be cheaper than just buying public 
transport yourself, and i guess a bit fun to go with many other people

re accomodation... there will be no accomodation at the media centre in 
edinbrugh and currently there are no plans for imc specific accomodation - 
however there will be mass accomodation available, currently unclear where 
but probably both in edinburgh and a rural campsite.

ciao,
dave
