from a Y.S. correspondent

The West Nottingham Young Socialists have organised a school on the first nine months of the Labour Government, with Ernie Roberts as main speaker. This is due to take place this Sunday, the 27th of June, at the Co-op Education Centre, Heathcoat Street, Nottingham, starting at 2.00 p.m, However, not everybody was pleased by this initiative: the Regional Youth Officer, on hearing about the effort, wrote to acting secretary and said that the school was unconstitutional because members of other Young Socialist branches had been invited. Any conference which was open to other Young Secialists must be organised through the constituency and, he claimed the constituency knew nothing about the school. Moreover, two other events were taking place around the same time and attendance must be affected. He advised the est Nottingham Young Socialists to call off the school “to avoid troub¥'. The letter was received the Monday before the Sunday of the meeting, and the mere fact that the vest Nottingham Labour Party Political Education Officer attends all the meetings of the Young Socialists shows Young Socialists are going to ignore this "advice" and go ahead. Already Young Secialists from 3 branches in Nottingham are coming, and others will attend from Ilkeston, Lincoln, Derby, Long Hatnn, Ripley, Carlton, etc. Any reader of The Week will be welcome by the way.
