BAN have opened a new social centre in Bath - now we need people to come and help make it a success

Bath Activist Network are proud to announce the opening of a new, and yet unnamed occupied social centre in the heart of Bath.
The building is massive, and in pretty good nick, but we need help before we open the doors, so come and get involved at the beginning of an exiting new social centre with loads of potential.
In particular, we need people who are up for coming along and helping get the place ready for opening, and to run activities once the place is open – cleaners, painters, electricians, artists, minor hole in roof menders, artists, musicians, radicals, dreamers, schemers, your mates and assorted malcontents are all welcome!
We already have several initiatives in the pipeline, such as a freeshop, infoshop, radical library, salsa, café, workshops, activist self defence sessions, squat games and more – and we are up for anyone with ideas or skills to share to come and contribute to the space.
The social centre is being run as a counter-capitalist initiative, run by consensus, and giving a living example of how we can create a world based on solidarity, mutual aid and co-operation, not greed and authority. To get involved in any way, big or small, contact us at  bathsocialcentre@gmail.com
(we are not freely giving out the address at the moment, so email us for directions)
We are slowly gathering the stuff we need to complete the space, but our wish list includes (but is not limited to) –
*Chairs
*Tables
*Sofas
*Kitchen stuff
*Paint
*banners
*decorations
*Any unwanted stuff for the freeshop
*Any books, pamphlets or leaflets for the library

This is a really great space, and an exciting opportunity to build something brilliant in Bath, so come down and get involved from the beginning.

Cheers

The social centre is squatted, so it's hard to say, but there it is a great space, so we will keep hold of it for as long as possible. It's definitley worth a visit.
This weekend, we are doing tidying and painting amongst other things - all help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
