SPGB Meetings (1996)

Party News from the September 1996 issue of the Socialist Standard





Blogger's Note:
"Socialist activity in Hertfordshire".  
 
And a couple of us spent a couple of hours in a convivial enough pub on London Road, Apsley, waiting for a couple of sympathisers and/or Socialist Standard subscribers to turn up for a first meeting of a proposed discussion group. "Reader, they didn't turn up". (Excuse the literary paraphrasing.)
 
What might have been . . .

SPGB Meetings (1995)

Party News from the October 1995 issue of the Socialist Standard



Blogger's Note:
There was a report of the October 25th debate with the Alliance for Workers' Liberty (Socialist Organiser) in the December 1995 issue of the Socialist Standard. As I mentioned previously I actually attended this debate. I remember it got rather heated and acrimonious, with both the audience members and the speakers getting a bit arsey. When they debated again in early '97 there was definitely some bad feeling left over from the previous debate on both sides.
