There is an election working-bee this Sunday (25 April). For information on how to get involved, just email info@igniteme.net, or the Melbourne Uni Alp Club; you can also call Paul Erickson (0421 104 843) or Susie Munro (0401 736 757).

May Day Function: Young Labor Left
------------

On May Day (May 1st), there will be a BBQ at Birrarung Marr Park next to Federation Square with a mystery guest speaker on the traditions of the day. Specials will include Socialist Sausages, Emancipation Eggplant, and maybe some Revolutionary Red Wine.

This will go from 11:30am to 1pm, when we will join the building Unions and others at the main rally at 1pm.

I encourage all ALP Club members to come along and get involved in Young Labor Left (you don't need to be a Labor Party member).

--------------
Tour of Parliament
--------------

There will be a tour of Parliament one or two weeks after the elections. More details will be announced closer to the date. Most likely in the first or second week of May.
