It was mentioned in another topic. December 20, 2017 at 12:14 pm #131004 ALBKeymaster These were activities (indoor and outdoor meetings, selling the Standard door to door) organised by the Party in the 1960s and 1970s. It was also the title of a supplement to the September 1967 Socialist Standard which carried articles from all the Companion Parties. The 7 days were the week 3-10 September. But this wouldn't have been the only one. Here's the report on that one:https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/1960s/1967/no-758-october-1967/week-meetings-londonThe Irish party organised one in October 1963, in fact this might be where the idea came from:https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/1960s/1964/no-715-march-1964/letter-irelandSelling the Standard door to door (canvassing) died out years ago as has selling it in pubs though that lasted a longer into the 1980s.
