Since its inception early this year the Belfast branch of WSM continues to go from strength to strength, growing in size and establishing new contacts. At the moment we distribute a 1000 copies of the Ulster edition of Workers Solidarity to homes across Belfast and at political events. We hope to expand our current distribution in the coming months. WSM members continue to take part in the current campaign against the water charges. We have attended and helped to organise pickets in solidarity with fellow workers on struggle in the midst of the current neo-liberal offensive and attacks on our living conditions and workers rights by the neo-colonial administration at Stormont......

There is nothing on this thread on Latin America and since the WSM branch was set up the anti-water charges campaign has been in limbo waiting to see what way the Executive at Stormont are going with water charges.

If you want to celebrate the growth of the WSM Belfast branch surely it should be on a thread with a different title?

Apart from the audio recording your also wrong on this one
"Recently, we held our 2nd public meeting in the Culturlann on Saturday 16th August. Award winning documentary “Our Oil and other Tales” was shown and WSM guest speaker Pepe gave an overview of the current anarchist movement in Latin America. Members and guests listened intently. Issues that arose included the importance of social movements and its contradictions on the continent and the lessons that can be learned at home from the campaign against water charges and privatization of water in Cochabamba(Bolivia)."

Also I think leafleting, organising meetings like this based on the learning lessons struggling against water charges in Bolivia and covering the water charges in our newspaper amounts to campaigning or building a campaign against the water charges at the very least.....

Anything else?

In an essay, article, or book, an introduction (also known as a prolegomenon) is a beginning section which states the purpose and goals of the following writing. This is generally followed by the body and conclusion.
