Sorrki ale nie mialam czasu przetlumaczyc tej wiadomosci :( Mam egzaminy :(
Hi
I had an excellent time in Riga. It was my first time in 'Eastern Europe' and I learnt a lot. It has increased my determination to go to Poland in 2007.
Christmas is nearly upon us, and I know that many of you are going home. Have a great time, and I hope to see many of you soon. For those who are staying there is a Midnight Mass in Polish at Immaculate Conception Church in Portswood at 12.30am (so just after midnight) on 24 December. Most other Catholic and Anglican (Church of England) Churches will also be having Midnight Mass services. Finally if you know anyone who is likely to be alone over Xmas or who is likely to be bored, let me know, and I'll try to help.
Below is a list of other things that might inerest you. Sorry it's all a bit long, but read what you want
Happy Christmas to you all
Dave
*Racism?
The City Council is keen to hear of any evidence that polish people are experiencing racism in Southampton, however small it might seem to be. You can report things anonymously or through me if you wish
There are webpages to the 'hate crime' information on the City Council website;
www.southampton.gov.uk/hatecrime
The on-line reporting system can be accessed from this, or from the report it section on the home page. Or directly at
http://sccwww1.southampton.gov.uk/consu ... survey.htm
You can also report by calling (023 8083 4114)or by emailing to
hate.crime@Southampton.Gov.uk,
Please don't accept what is not acceptable
*Polish and eastern
European Mother and Children group in Shirley

*Art Exhibition
We will be running an art exhibition on Saturday 10 March. All artists (of any type) will be able to book a table for free. More details to follow. Let me know if you're interested
*Unity 101 Radio
If you are free on Monday 18 December and would like to take part in a programme between 3pm and 4pm let me know
*Singers and Dancers
Polish singers and dancers (traditional) are needed for an event at the Novotel on 12 January. If you want more details let me know.
*English lessons
It looks like our beloved government is going to charge for English lessons for people from the EU who are in work. This is already begining to happen and from September all courses at City College and Eastleigh College will have to be paid for. A 34 week course (2 hours per week) will probably cost between Ł160-180 with an extra Ł60 to get the qualification. Do you think people will still be interested? Would it help if they could pay each term? Do people want a 'qualification' or is it just the lessons that are important? Let me know what you think
