amazing :-)

I have a lot of audio and photos to sort and have made a
start bu adding some photos to flickr, the group pool,
that others can add to is here:

And all the ones uploaded are here:

There is the audio from the talk on coops here:

- Cooperatives, Credit Unions and Experience of a Social
  Care Coop

Over this week I'll also add things to the Occupy
Sheffield site.

Graham from the Green Party will be uploading some I
expect, so far I have seeni these:

- Tony Guest's poetry at #Occupy benefit gig
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Me44aH_vkA

- Julia O'Dwyer Speaks at Occupy Sheffield Jan 2012 
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJEfbLPrCLM

I'm sure more will be uploaded.  

There is the audio from the rally here:

- Occupy Sheffield's Rally for the 99% 
  http://sheffield.indymedia.org.uk/2012/01/491376.html

And I'll split this into seperate files for each speaker
and add it to the Occupy Sheffield site.
