Forthcoming Local Group Events |
| Worcester Group Meeting focus on Burma |
| Thursday 11th March 2010, 8.00 pm Worcester Group Meeting at the University of Worcester. Please click here to download a location map. We will meet in the main building, room EEG 020 (which is in the main building by reception). This time we will be looking once more at issues to do with Burma in the run-up to the Burmese Water Festival - and thinking of our current (and longstanding) prisoner of conscience case Ko Aye Aung. All welcome. |
| Wyre Forest Group Event Death Penalty Campaign Event |
| Thursday 18th March 2010, 7.30 pm at St Michael's Church, Stourport. The Wyre Forest Group are having a special meeting to focus on Death Penalty issues. This is timely following the local calls for re-introduction following the Fairfield Post Office murder, and the execution of a British resident in western China in December. All are welcome to join the workshop on this challenging subject. |
| Hereford, Leominster and Ludlow Group Event Burma Campaign |
| Thursday 18th March 2010, 7.30 pm at St Owen's Centre, Symmonds Street, Hereford. The Hereford, Leominster and Ludlow Group are having a special meeting to focus on Burma issues. The speaker will be Christine Forrester who has spent time in Burma amongst other places - this promises to be a very interesting event. |

| Worcester Group Meeting and Group AGM |

We will meet in the main building, room EEG 020 (which is in the main building by reception). Please don't be put off by the "AGM" part of the meeting - that usually takes little time - but we do need to divide up some of the tasks for the year ahead. Much more interesting will be the campaign updates and the latest Actions for Individuals At Risk. All welcome. |

| Bewdley Book Stall Wyre Forest Group |
| Saturday 8th May 2010, during the day in Bewdley Town Centre - for that book that you'd forgotten you wanted. You get the book - Amnesty gets the donation. You'll feel so much better if you do. |
| Malvern Group Street Collection |

| Bewdley Book Stall Wyre Forest Group |
| Saturday 11th September 2010, during the day in Bewdley Town Centre - no - I don't know where they get the stamina from either - just keep buying the books - that's all. |
| Malvern Hills Supporters' Evening "Outside the Law" - Stories from Guantanamo |
| Tuesday 19th October 2010, evening (timing and prices to be confirmed) at the Forum Theatre, Great Malvern. This will be the autumn's big Amnesty event for Worcestershire when the film about Guantanamo Bay Detention Centre will be shown, followed by a discussion with ex-Guantanamo internees.
