There is a meeting on the 6th of Jan to breath new life into maintaining radical autonomous social centres in London. The aim will be to set up a London wide social centres collective which will open and help run squatted spaces as well as publish listings of events and activites taking place in these spaces. The meeting will probably take place at rampART at 2pm unless is needs to be moved in which case it will be at LARC.
The new year got off to a cracking start with romours of a new space being openned in the early hours of the 1st Jan. Details to follow when confirmed.
