Well done in joining Jack, welcome to the party.

We are always looking for new contributors or simply having our attention drawn to media stories of interest.

The EC has agreed the following: “That Conference 2020 be postponed due to the Covid-19 epidemic and if possible merged with ADM 2020”. (Shannon / Browne)
5-0-0 (for: Browne, Cohen, Foster, Hart, Shannon, Shodeke)
The EC has voted to postpone Conference in order to minimise risks to members in light of the Covid-19 epidemic. Although the timing of Conference is set by rule 20, it is hoped that members will understand that the situation has necessitated this decision, and a quick response. The practicalities of merging Conference with ADM will be looked into in due course, and suggestions of how this could be organised are welcomed. In the meantime, branches and individuals are encouraged to maintain online activity wherever possible, and also to check on members who may be more vulnerable. If any branches, committees or individuals require any additional assistance or guidance, especially if the Covid-19 epidemic impacts on how the party functions, then email spgb@worldsocialism.org.
Access to Head Office in light of the situation is being discussed, and a decision about this will be made shortly. Summer School may not be able to take place, but no definite decision has yet been made.

Mike Foster, on behalf of the EC

Welcome to the wonderful world of the WSM, Jack. (What tongue? What cheek?)

If you have a penchant for old stuff, be sure to check out my Socialist Standard archive side project:

Socialist Standard Past & Present blog

It’s updated pretty much every day . . . if I’m not playing darts.

Be sure to check out my additional comments. I have more useless and obscure information about the SPGB than you can shake a stick at.

all the best
