En-form Policy En-form is organising the event with the help of three other local environmental organisations.

En-form as an environmental charity exists to provide the public with information from all sources and consequently is not seeking to influence decisions but to provide the public with enough information to make up there own minds. Efforts are being made to arrange speakers representing arguments both for and against genetic modification.

En-form does not currently have a GM policy. ( the three other local groups Colchester Friends of the Earth, Weeley Against Genetic Exploitation and Colchester GM Campaign are generally against Genetic Modification)

Refreshments Tea and coffee will be provided by Colchester Borough Council
Bookings Not need to book the event is open to the general public. However it would help us to organise the event if you could advise us if you intend to come. Please notify us on info@en-form.org.uk
