Nottingham City Labour Party had its meeting to malate its delegate for Conference the Thursday before Conference. The meeting was poorly attended for a number of reasons (one being that it clashed with Centre 42 activity). The left was in a big majority and consequently on all issues, unilateralism, against the witch-hunt, against the Common Market, for a Jyropean conference of Labour, etc. ,.eThe right wing made use of the poor attendance to imply that the results would have been different otherwise. However, the way the mectings have bee. going over a period of time indicates that this is not so. A different note was struck when a left wing delegate from the floor suggested a demonstration be organised by the party in support of the Railwaymen's strike on the day of the strike, This proposal was enthusiastically supported by one of the delegates wio had voted with right during the meeting. The secretary said that it was imposs-ble for her to do the organising work for the demonstartion as she wouldyhe at the Conference. At this stage, left wing delegates offered to help and it unanimousiy decided to put a number of left wing delegates in charge of the demonstration. A full report of this demonstration will be included in next week's Bulletin.
