Greetings!

Hi comrades

I'm Vincent and I'm the Youth and Young Communist League Liaison Officer for the South-West, elected at last year's district congress. I want to try and revive this page, so hopefully there'll be more posting on here from yours truly. You can email me at vincent@southwestcommunist.org.uk or message me on facebook. I've also recently set up a South-West Young Communist League facebook page, which all YCL comrades are free to join.

Just a reminder to all comrades that both the CPB & the YCL, have got quite a lot happening this summer and very soon, some of which is within our district. If you can, do try and get yourselves along to any of these events. Sadly due to other commitments, I won't be able to make most of these events myself, except for the summer camp. That I will definitely be there for and I look forward to seeing other young comrades there too.

Pilton Green Man Festival (19/07/14): Following it's revival in 1982, the Green Man Festival has become a regular event on the calendar in North Devon, celebrating this ancient symbol of nature and fertility. Our comrades in the North Devon branch are regular attendees of this festival, with a very impressive party stall. Volunteers are welcome, please contract the North Devon branch on their facebook page. More information about the Pilton Green Man festival can be found on the festival website page.

Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival (18/07/14 - 20/07/14): The annual festival in Dorset celebrating the story of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. Comrades of the labour movement from all over Britain descend onto Tolpuddle for this celebration of an important and remarkable chapter in working-class history. You'll find many of our comrades busy handing out copies of the Morning Star. Any volunteers will be greatly appreciated. Contact your local party branch for transportation information. More information about Tolpuddle, including the Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum can be found on this website page.

21st Century Marxism 2014 (26/07/14 - 27/07/14): The Communist Party of Britain will be hosting yet again, 21st Century Marxism 2014. It's a weekend festival of discussion, debate, culture, music and food in London and all comrades of the labour movement are welcome.

Young Communist League Summer Camp 2014 (29/07/14 - 31/07/14): Taking place in Edale, the Young Communist League will be gathering together for a weekend of discussion, education and fun. This is a great opportunity for comrades to meet other YCL members from across Britain. To register for this event click on this link. But hurry, there aren't many places left! Also, if any YCL members in the south-west need any help at all attending this event, then please don't hesitate to contact me.

Also, don't forget to check out the South-West Communist Party of Britain website page for more news and events of what's going on in the area.That's all for now comrades, hope to catch you at the summer camp and wishing you all the best for the summer.

In solidarity,
Vincent
