<font size="-1">Hola a todas:<br>
<br>
En respuesta a la propuesta de un encuentro europeo para el año
2012 ha llegado esta carta de las MdN de Londres.<br>
Para ganar tiempo, prefiero mandaros así sin traducir y espero que
alguna de vosotras la traduzca para todas.<br>
También ha llegado un informe de Annalisa sobre lo que hablaron en
Belgrado en relación al mismo tema; lo he mandado a Charo para
pedirle si lo podía traducir. <br>
Tengo varios emails de mujeres que dicen estar interesadas en este
encuentro; los difundiré cuando pueda (después de lo relacionado
con el 25 de nov.) con estos otros textos traducidos.<br>
De momento, nada más,<br>
Un abrazo,<br>
Yolanda<br>

<pre>Dear friends (Anna, Elisabetta, Marianita,
Concha, Sofia, Mireya, Yolanda and others, listed
below, whose addresses we do not know),
We are responding to your proposal for a European
WiB meeting or conference in 2012. Women in the
London WiB group are very glad about the
initiative you have taken, and warmly support the
idea of a European encuentro of some kind. There
is so much we need to discuss concerning
militarism, militarization and Europe, from a
feminist point of view. Yesterday a few of us met
together to think long and hard about how, where
and when such a meeting could be held.
We feel we would like to offer Britain as a
venue, but could not do so in 2012, because the
few of us who are potential organizers have heavy
work commitments coming up in the early part of
the year, and towards summer it will be
impossible to find reasonably-priced meeting
venues and accommodation because London is
hosting the 2012 Olympics, and there is going to be chaos.
So, where could it be? Following Rebecca's
conversations with various WiB women recently in
Belgrade, we also considered that for
geographical and political reasons Belgium could
be a good venue. Of course it would be for the
Leuven WiB themselves to say what whether this
might be practical, but we hesitate to suggest it
because we we feel that organising such a
European Encuentro would ask too much of the
small and hardworking group in Leuven, and
especially bearing in mind how Lieve already
stretches herself to the limit to keep our English-language e-list going.
We wonder whether women of Italy or Spain, who
took the initiative to propose a meeting, would
be willing to have the meeting in either of those
countries? At the Casa de la Paz in Sevilla –
mmm, that would be nice!?? Some of us from London
would very happily travel to any venue in Italy or Spain.
Concretely, what we would like to propose is
this... That first, a small, delegate-based
meeting is held, of perhaps forty or fifty women,
in the months of January - April 2012, in Spain
or Italy. We would prefer April, ourselves,
because of our other commitments. But of course
your preferences on date should have priority.
Secondly, we propose that a bigger meeting, a
real European encuentro, be organized in 2013. We
would certainly look into the possibilities of
holding this in Britain, whether in London or
nearby, or even in cooperation with Leuven WiB,
if they wanted to do that. Of course before
committing to this we would need to have a full
discussion in the London and UK groups.
So we await news of what you are currently
thinking about this. One way or another, women in
London WiB would very much like to be involved.
Best wishes,
Sue, Liz, Rebecca, Sian and Cynthia
London WiB
