last dance of OCSET (phase 1)

Quick last-minute callout for people to help defend OCSET tomorrow morning.

Come at 10am, 220 Cowley Road :)

Bailiffs are due to come to (the old) OCSET at 11 tomorrow. We would like
as many people as possible there, to have a fluffy 'tea-party' resistance.

The idea is to get them to bugger off and come back with more people,
thus winning a symbolic victory, costing them money and making the eviction
of social centres as much work as possible.

We are calling for people to come at 10.

Soon after that, we will decide whether we have enough people to do it.

Sorry for the ridiculously short notice!

We decided there weren't enough of us, so we moved all the sofas, comfy chairs etc to the park opposite and watched them try to get in :)

After a while they managed to climb in through a tiny window somewhere :O

Anyway, don't despair, OCSET will rise again, watch this space.

Interested in helping with the OCSET project? Come along tonight(Thursday):

time: 6pm

place: our latest temporary location
the old furniture shop
opposite Bead Games and Uhuru (health food shop)
Cowley Road
Oxford

Uhuru is not a health food shop.
It is a wholefood shop.

Uhuru.. is barely a wholefood shop.. more of a gourmet speciality niche shop with hardly any vegetables, lots of chocolate, sushi, riceballs and of barely any use whatsoever for real shopping - not even open at time when real people get out of work and want to go shopping...
why oh why is there no decent wholefood shop in oxford and we all have to guiltily go and buy stuff at the organic aisle in tesco and sainsbury... grrrrrr

anyone for a "force uhuru to turn into a real community wholefood shop' campaign???

Meh; at least they have tofu and chocolate soymilk. Keeps me happy. Not that I could really afford anything at a wholefoods shop - Tesco Value brand it is!
