Sheffield G8 Events: Cutlers Hall for Diner, police and escorts
After getting of the buses, most of the deligates got in the hall rather sharpish, so, it seemed to me, that they didn't hear too much of the demo on the other side of the square .........

Nottingham Indymedia crew making video of Sheffields opposition to G8 meetings
the Sheffield film
The idea is to make a short film about the G8 ministers meeting in Sheffield 15 - 17 June. Besides informing on the issues and documenting the events unfolding in the days surrounding the summit, it was the idea's to also feature the making of the film itself, as a way to show that Notts Indymedia is already out there doing stuff and get people inspired and involved.
Here is a selection of still, from the process of filming.
Film to be finished in time for the infonight on 22nd June, at the Sumac Centre.

Sheffield Peace in the Park [anti-G8 Event]

Sheffield Peace in the Park [anti-G8 Event]
Peace in the Park 2005 festival held in The Sheffield General Cemetery between Ecclesall Road and Cemetery Road. There was music from the main stage, the open mic stage with the speakeasy cafe and more. Also a kids area, healing area, and film tent. There was food stalls, meditation space, DJing workshops, campaign stalls, massage, artists and artisans, discussion, art workshops, and lots of other things....
All profits this year go to the Sheffield Archer Project, a charity providing support for the homeless, and the Intermediate Technology Development Group, an international charity working on practical ways to end poverty for people in need all over the world.
G8 Demonstration
The festival was the endpoint to the first demonstration against the G8 Justice and Interior Ministers meeting which is in Sheffield on the Wednesday to Friday following Peace in the Park. The G8 puts vast wealth and power towards war and it's own economic success yet refuses to address poverty worldwide, a disaster that kills 50 000 people every day.
The demonstration, gathered in town on Devonshire Green, Division St at 10:30am for a carnival against the G8; called by Sheffield Stop the War Coalition and supported by many groups including Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Sheffield Muslim Association of Britain, Sheffield CND, and G8 Sheffield.

Some graffiti and 'words of wisdom' on the Walls of Nottingham

Some graffiti and 'words of wisdom' on the Walls of Nottingham
I don't think that this set of word on the wall, 'says' anything. Simply, that it has the potential as a 'media' to put info in front of the public.
Another Indymedia perhaps .........
Here is some of my earlier work on the subject
http://tash.dns2go.com/projects_gallery/Graffiti_Signs_BW/index.htm

Graffiti is a type of deliberately inscribed marking made by humans on surfaces, both private and public. It can take the form of art, drawings, or words. When done without a property owner's consent it constitutes illegal vandalism. Graffiti has existed at least since the days of ancient civilizations such as classical Greece and the Roman Empire.
The word "graffiti" expresses the plural of "graffito", although the singular form has become obscure and has largely fallen into disuse. Both of these English words come from the Italian language, most likely descending from "graffiato", the past participle of "graffiare" (to scratch); ancient graffitists scratched their work into walls before the advent of spray-paint. These words derive in their turn from the Greek ??afe?? (graphein), meaning "to write". Historians continue to speculate over the vexed question as to where the term "graffiti" first referred to this form of marking.

The weather is still seasonally grim, to what you'd expect for June. But the sky cleared a bit, just before sunset
