Greetings dear friends and comrades
***please forward this message to anyone who may be
interested and / or able to help***
Some bad news I'm afraid. Although The Basement is
structurally sound and in good spirits the fire damage
sustained by the rest of 24 Lever Street was much more
severe than we were originally told. Most
significantly the top two floors were gutted by fire
and office above us was waterlogged. Their floorboards
(ie our ceiling) needs totally replacing.
All tenants of the building have been instructed to
vacate the premises as soon as possible for health and
safety reasons whilst renovation is completed. Hence
the collective clean-up operation is now more of a box
up and get out…
We urgently need the following:
• Storage space – can you fit some of our treasures
in your attic / cellar / shed / living room etc?
• People to help us pack up and move during the next
week or so
• Empty boxes, access to vans, tools for removing
fittings, torches and headlamps for working with etc
would also all be handy
• If you have any items stored in the basement please
get in touch as soon as possible and arrange
collection of them
NB we have had a new shutter fitted for security
reasons so please check someone is about to unlock
before making a journey
If you can help please
• ring / text the NEW BASEMENT MOBILE on
07925 771017 or
• email
mustsocial@yahoo.co.uk
• come to the General Meeting this Thursday 31 May 7pm
at The Town Hall Tavern Tib Lane,
http://www.whathappenedlastnight.net/manchester/bars/the%20town%20hall%20tavern
WE WILL BE BACK - but the timeline is a little blurry.
It's likely to be a few (possibly 4ish) months. We
will of course update you as soon as we know anything.
Our apologies to everyone who is inconvenienced by our
enforced temporary closure – we will strive to open
again as soon as we can.
In the meantime, thanks as ever to all who have shown
solidarity, love and practical support, we will return
as soon as possible in a stronger and more glorious
phoenix style
Glittery Love

PS please also get in touch or come along on thursday
if you're interested in some subversive basement
shenanigans during the ear to the ground gig this
sunday.
