I know I carry on, and on about it......

I have now got the dates and times for OBR Devon, they are:
Exeter: 6pm - 8pm, Cathedral Green
Barnstaple: 12 noon - 2pm, Old Bus Station Cafe
Totnes: 5.30pm - 8.30pm, The Plains

It would be good to have a Gransnet presence at these events.

There are three events in Devon, the one above, one in Exeter and also one in Barnstable.

Thanks GA will keep my eyes open for it

anno Can you have a little jig in the kitchen or somewhere just to give a hands up to the event? I'd love that.

Oh, when, why does it have to be on a Thursday the only day of the week when I have a firm commitment?

There is an event planned for Exeter, but details haven't been finalised yet.
There is a facebook page for Devon:

Yeeesssss!!!!! Now we have a flash mob in Central Manchester on Feb 14th. It's spreading, people. Please do join in

I can't find anything GA Do you know where and when in Exeter- can't find that either

agapanthus - haven't heard of anything yet, but will put a link here if I come across anything. I suspect (hope) that there will be an event happening in Plymouth.

Grannyactivist,do you know if there's anything planned in Plymouth?

I'll look out for something! Sounds good to me!

Yes, when - A strong voice to lend to 1bn Rising.

One of her poetry collections is called 'Hard Times Require Furious Dancing'.

The great Alice Walker.....'I am rising!'

One Billion Rising flash mob is now being publicised for Brighton on February 16th. Should be quite a spectacle. Growing by the day!

The movement is growing by the day. YouTube has quite a few examples of songs and dances being performed specially for One Billion Rising, which is informally affiliated with The Vagina Monologues, Women's Aid and an expanding number of global organisations that campaign about violence to women. Lots of info on the internet, snowballing on Facebook!!

when Great news!
Let's hope this cross-party issue stays live, and that future action will be taken by the Government.

One Billion Rising has been mentioned in UK Parliament!

I live near Reading, High Wycombe area.......cannot see anything going on around here......does anyone know differently?

Petallus If I was not working on Thursdays I would join you - I am near Watford too. There must be some more Gransnetters within a 10 mile radius of the town?

Oops, sorry grans. That should of course read, there is an EVENT planned for Exeter.

Great to see such support.
I can't get to the UK to join in; wish I could. There's nothing hereabouts, but I'll be doing my dance just the same.

Devon people: there is an even planned for Exeter. I shall be there, will you?

I have signed up to join the one in Guildford and will try to persuade members of the WI to go along with me. Thanks Butty for the info.

I'll send it to all my female friends in the UK, I'll be in Spain.
