it has been brewing since before last September, but last night was my first opportunity to attend a formal meeting for the Lichfield Speaker's Corner.
Instigated by Peter Bradley from the Speaker's Corner Trust and now led by locals, Lichfield is planning to have only the second formal Speaker's Corner outside of London (Nottingham being the first and Hyde Park Corner being the original).
The launch will take place in Lichfield on 2 May, with a skeleton programme of other events throughout the year, but once it is up and running anyone at anytime will be able to go down and have a rant, debate, discussion or heckle. As information becomes available, I will link to it from here.

Given the gloom of the current financial climate, I expect there will be ranting aplenty, but what a great idea - nice to know that these things are being set up in Lichfield.
