Sizewell. There will be people cycling from Saxmundham with a nuclear white

elephant on Friday so please get in contact if you would like to join them.

The postcode for the power station is IP16 4UE if you want to look it up on the

Internet.

What You Will Need

Food will be available at the camp (suggested donation £5 per day for 3 meals a

day) so just bring the other stuff that you need – tent, waterproof clothing, ideas etc.

It may be windy and the soil under tents maybe sandy. Disabled access is possible;

contact us if you would like to know more on accessibility.

About The Camp

We want as many people as possible to feel comfortable at the camp, so please, if

you have to bring alcohol, be responsible, keep it to a real minimum and no loud

music please – successful campaigns need support from the people who live

locally! The camp will not be run for you but by you so please be prepared to help

out with washing-up etc.

It would be great to have some idea on numbers so that we can plan food etc, so if

you can, please let us know if you are coming. (Contact details below)
