[Sfcupdate] Fwd: Ways Forward 2 conference workshop on student co-operatives

[Josef Davies-Coates]

I'm hoping to go but I'm neither a student nor under 24!

Anyone know somewhere I could crash Thursday night in Manchester? (I've
just asked on Radical Routes list - thinking Equinox might be able to put
me up - but thought I'd ask here too)

Thanks!

Josef.
