Any other business:

1. raised concerns over alliance with solfed, was recently suggested using the name Preston Solfed instead of Lancs Solfed. Possibility of becoming independent of that organisation so that local funds can be used for local issues without having their prior consent. Some members may remain with Solfed so that we may lend each other support on national issues. Local funds to come initially from subs at meetings.

This is a curious item. Burnely Anarchists are totaly independent of Lancashire Solfed already. Burnley Anarchists have never had to ask for "prior consent" in what they do or what they spend their funds on. In fact Lancashire SolFed has given money for posters to be printed in Burnley with absolutely no conditions attached.

You are welcome to become a member of the site wherever you live..if that was what you were referring to...if not, and you were referring to the burnley anarchists, then if you become a member of this site you can also become a moderator of the anarchists forum as I believe that we are all as entitled as one another to work on the posts within that section, and make any alterations where necessary...

The name of the site, Burnley.org was used because we needed an existing domain name in order to obtain this free sub-domain...
