	LINEUP WEEK 10 I'd like to again thank everyone whose contributions to the society helped us to triumph and win the honour of being Best Society 2006/7. I am sure that you're all as thrilled as I am and are proud to be part of the society. However, there's always room for change and improvement, and shall be a big theme this week, with our elections on Thursday and Go Green evaluation meeting on Monday. Both of these meetings are extremely important. Please come! NOTE THE SOCIAL ON THURSDAY FOLLOWING THE ELECTIONS!!!! If anyone wants to stand for an exec position please let me know a.s.a.p. THIS WEEK: 1) GO GREEN EVALUATION MEETING: MONDAY 6PM MR2 2) WARWICK CONTROL ARMS: RALLY ON WEDNESDAY WRITE TO YOUR MP 3) ELECTIONS: THURSDAY: 6PM MR2 4) SOCIAL: THURSDAY AFTER ELECTIONS THIS WEEK: 1) GO GREEN EVALUATION MEETING: MONDAY 6PM MR2 Owen will be holding a meeting on Monday to discuss how Go Green week went, how it could be improved etc. Obviously, due to the amount of money and time invested we need to make it as awesome as possible so it would be great if as many people as possible who were involved in the week at whatever level could come along. If you canât attend but have any comments then please let Owen know on o.morgan (at) warwick.ac.uk 2) WARWICK CONTROL ARMS: RALLY ON WEDNESDAY Hi Everyone, On Weds 12th March, there is going to be a parliamentary debate, followed by a vote on upgrading trident! This is worrying because: 1. There has been no real public consultation on this and it is being rushed through hurridly before Blair leaves office 2. It is estimated to cost us around 76 billion - on weapons that are no longer needed and we are unlikely to ever use. 3. The government have started researching the development of a new nuclear weapon that can be used in a battlefield scenario (crazy or what?) 4. It will breach international law - we signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty back in the 70s saying we, along with other nations will begin to decommission our nuclear weapons (South Africa and many ex-Soviet countries have kept to this) 5. It will only cause proliferation and will not address the real security issue of today - the environment. 6. The UK is a hypocrite to say that nations like Iran can not develop their nuclear programmes - and we wonder why they want to????! Please take action in the following ways: - There is a template email attached for you to send to both your MP at home and at Uni, to talk about trident. Please adapt it as you feel appropriate. To find out who your MP is go to: http://upmystreet.com/commons/. You can also find their contact details there. I would recommend attaching the letter as an email to your MP so that you get a quick response in these circumstances. Please let us know what responses you do get at e.biermann (at) warwick.ac.uk - Join us at the rally on the 14th March outside Parliament from 6-8pm trying to persuade MPs last minute to vote against upgrading trident. Also join our facebook group: http://warwick.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2250008743ref=mf - Go online to http://www.bigtridentdebate.org.uk/ to support the statement against upgrading trident. - Some of us are meeting Coventry MPs on the 12th March as part of a coalition group which is anti-trident. If you have any questions you would like us to ask our MPs, please let us know, again at e.biermann (at) warwick.ac.uk!
