Report on Belfast Meetup

Written by the organizer of this meetup Donald Dietrich

We have had another successful meetup on the 26th of October.  The meetup started with a general chat about time banking and other alternitives to our monetary system.  At 7:30 we started the video “Its all about the money”.  We watched the first part about the problems with our banking system followed by a short chat about Positive Money’s monetary reform.  We then watched the solution part of the video and had a further chat on PM’s solutions among other topics.

Two of our supporters had a run in with some of the Occupiers in Belfast, on their way to the meetup.  I was unaware that there were any Occupiers in Belfast, so after the meetup I called in to them for a few minutes.  I introduced myself and had a short chat.  I called back to Occupy Belfast the next day and brought with me the 3 different flyers.

I was thinking that it may be a good idea, getting a Positive Money banner made to display at the Occupy Belfast site across from St. Anne’s cathedral.  So I am asking any Positive Money supporters in Northern Ireland for a small donation to help with the cost.  If you can help with this or want to get involved please contact me by email or call me.

I work in the city centre and can meet anyone between 9-5 Monday through Friday, if you would like to donate for the cause.  Otherwise a cheque can be sent to: Donald Dietrich, 91 Chichester st., Belfast, BT1 3JQ.  I thank you very much in advance and look forward meeting up with you all again soon.  Best of luck, Donald Dietrich
