The Hands Off forum is now closed.

We’ve been going for nearly 8 years, since November 2003. During this time we’ve organised 38 meetings and one conference. These were well attended events and provided an opportunity to hear interesting and informed speakers on a variety of topics. We’ve had consistently good feed-back from people, and know that you’ve valued the opportunity to gain information and have political discussion in an open, non-aligned forum.

About a year ago we broadened our coverage from foreign policy issues to include domestic concerns. However, it’s been hard to find an overall direction for Hands Off in the changed political circumstances of the time. It’s also become increasingly difficult to find new speakers who are suitable, live near enough and are willing to talk for free.

We still think that political education, discussion and debate has an important role to play in any progressive change in our society, but that the time has come to look for different ways of doing this. We’d like to thank you all for your support over the years.
