Newport on a typical Saturday night.
NATO Summit 2014
As Wales’ leading business destination and one of the UK’s finest international conference venues, The Celtic Manor Resort will be a fitting host for The NATO Summit in 2014.

Celtic Manor Resort Chairman, Sir Terry Matthews says,

“We are honoured to be welcoming such a momentous and prestigious global event to Wales and look forward to showcasing the Resort on the world stage.”

Celtic Manor is where they held the Ryder Cup last year? I'm guessing it is pretty swish - mind you it is a golf course - is it easy to defend?

all Johnny Taliban needs to do is book 18 for an afternoon - plenty of holes for packages about
 
I foresee the whole thing turning into a security wankfest in the runup and during the event, especially as they seem already keen to 'have a word' with activists.

there is a twitter account set up by activists: @NoNATOnewport for anyone interested.
 
Except you just get shouted at by the US secret service and made to be there bitches.

banner drop against EADS
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2014/05/516816.html
EADS is AIRBUS under another name, a major profiteer of war. The company manufactures the Eurofighter Typhoon Jet and 'drones' including some with nuclear warheads. EADS is also involved in the surveillance technology business. Under the name CASSIDIAN they have sponsored workshops at the Newport Council owned Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre.

The Celtic Manor, where the NATO Summit will be hosted, has held EADS events. EADS has helped to write the Newport City Council policy for the future of the city through Simon Gibson of WESLEY CLOVER, a sister company to The Celtic Manor. Both are owned by Terry Matthews. Gibson's report 'The ReNewport Report', proposes that Newport should become a 'Test Bed Laboratory' and a 'Safer City' like Singapore which has been a 'beneficiary' of EADS surveillance technology.

The NATO Summit is an opportunity for EADS to showcase its warmongering technology and increase its business through NATO procurement. EADS is a major player in the Arms Industry and makes huge profits from the death and mutilation of victims of war around the world.

Tbf nothing exciting ever happens in Newport. At least this gives people something to talk about, maybe GLC will do a rap.

Bloody expensive round of golf is all I know about the venue.
 
38 schools to shut in Newport for NATO conference!
this is for traffic and not protests
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-28206150
Protests are planned around the summit and there are also traffic concerns.

Newport has 48 primary schools and nine secondary schools.

Seven to 10 days of demonstrations are planned from various groups and some previous summits, most notably Strasbourg in 2009, have seen considerable disorder.

But Chris Armitt, assistant chief constable of Merseyside Police who is leading the security operation, said plans are in place.

"I'm very confident that we're taking every possible step to make sure we plan effectively," he said.

"We are doing lots and lots of exercising and scenario testing around everything we think is conceivable. That doesn't mean we won't see sporadic disorder.

"If we do, we'll deal with it quickly and I'm confident we won't see disorder on the scale that has taken place previously when it's taken place in Europe - in Strasbourg for example."

The 'action' looks a bit preachy at the 'normals.'

I'm assuming you hope it doesn't attract too many weirdos like this?

I live in Barracks Wood Newport and have been post anti- New World Order vids on my facebook to try to wake up the sheeple about the banking system run by the Bilderberg family. Due to my illness which is a pain issue I have been tied to Newport. But at last they have come to my town and I attend to disrupt, shout to wake up the people up to the fact they are slaves to the petro-dollar. I am 48 years old and my liver is not too good so I want to make this my fight and I don't give a fuck if the 'blue meanies' know who I am cause I am fucking angry there are more billionaires and the highest amount of dying children through hunger or drones. Count me in D Murphy.

So it's true then. I heard something briefly on Radio Cardiff earlier about security fencing in the city centre. This whole wankfest is looking like turning into a complete pain in the arse.
