rampART gets eviction papers

parted | 12.12.2007 17:11 | Free Spaces | Social Struggles | London

The rampART social centre in London today received court papers for repossesion on the grounds of Tresspass. The hearing date is the 20th Dec.

So much for the season of good will.

The rampART and neighboring houses have all been served court papers for a hearing on the 20th Dec. Bad timing to say the least as a bunch of us were off to do a presentation about the space and show films at an event in Barcelona next week and are potentially homeless by xmas.

We've started the process of seeking advice regarding the court hearing but don't hold your breath, the end is nigh.

This obviously impacts on a whole bunch of stuff. For example we've just had the a campaign group move their office into the rampART, Bicycology were planning on doing up the bike workshop this weekend and there's various groups got dates booked for events next year, not to mention the new years eve party.

Basically we need to have a meeting of all the effected groups/individuals to discuss our response and plan what will happen over the next month or so.

Assume this meeting will be at the rampART next monday 7pm.

...no, it is just a new beginning! Happy Winter Solstice - never mind Xmas and New Year, they aren't real holy days. As for homelessness, we have too many empties in the area and not enough squatters.

rhythms of resistance need a practice place

With the possible demise of ramparts rhythms really need a place to practice which is preferably:
not too bothered about noise
more central than ramparts
has secure storage for drums


wish list:
place to make tea or coffee
warm
near tube
