Party News: Edinburgh Branch (2000)

Party News from the October 2000 issue of the Socialist Standard

We have had a pretty busy year since last year’s branch news update for the EC. Since last year most of the branch acquired computers and are using the web frequently for socialist matters. West Lothian Discussion Group, which Edinburgh Branch members regularly attend, now has two web sites (actually the same site in two different places) which we hope to develop further in the foreseeable future. They are being visited regularly by surfers.

The discussion group has now been up and running for a year with a steady weekly membership. Some of the topics covered are included in their web site.

The summer has seen branch activity at the Mound, in Edinburgh, addressing the public every Sunday. And we have also had a stall at the Alternative Book Festival, with a follow-up meeting.

Currently we are planning what our next election activities are going to be. The branch is probably more enthusiastic and energetic than ever before, despite being a small branch, and is looking at all kinds of ideas to expand activities.
