[Alt-sheff-organising-group] PLEASE REPLY re Alt-Sheff & "The Sheffield Co-operator"

[Karen]

Hi Jonathan 
I think it's a good idea. I'm happy to pay £10 towards the cost. Will be in touch separately about this. 
Best wishes

(I know him through Principle 5 co-operative resources centre which I'm also on the committee of -  http://principle5.org.uk/ ). It will be a special centenary edition, a one-off, to celebrate 100 years since a newspaper of this name was launched. At its peak it was a regular paper with a big circulation. Now the co-operative movement has gone through a big decline, but many people are trying to change that. In Sheffield we are publicising, linking up and celebrating the many co-operatives which are operating.

Please reply by email, because there is no time to discuss at a meeting, it will need to be done by next month.  It'll cost about £20 which I can pay, there's no time to raise funds in a better way. I hope this is OK with everyone?
