Welcome to the NUS Conference 2013 Blog

This blog is being run by the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts as part of our fight for a democratic, mass-mobilising, fighting NUS and student movement.

In the week prior to, and during NUS Conference (8th-10th April, Sheffield) we’ll be posting information about our candidates, the policy we have submitted and are supporting, and other things student and NUS related.

We will also be blogging with live or nearly-live updates throughout the conference.

If you want to get involved, we have a National Committee meeting in Sheffield prior to conference on the 7th April, which is open to all NCAFC members to attend.

We will also be caucusing as NCAFC throughout conference. We will advertise those caucus times and locations here.

If you want to get in touch to work with us at conference, make any suggestions, or ask any questions, then email againstfeesandcuts@gmail.com or ring/text 07810 632 653.

During NUS conference we will be tweeting using the hashtags #nusnc13 and #ncafc
