A meeting to discuss the future of the Basement, Manchester's radical bookshop and social centre. The Basement has been shut for the last few months following a fire on Lever street. This meeting will dicuss what should happen next, and be a chance for anyone, from old volunteers, to those who've heard about it, to share ideas, offer support, and socialise!
The Basement is rising like a pheonix....
What should it be like when it reopens? How can you make it happen? Does
Manchester need a social centre?
Please come along to a special meeting to discuss what we are going to do...
Monday 26th November, 6.30-9.00pm at the Friends Meeting House, Mount Street
We’ve been contacted by the landlord of 24 Lever Street about changes that have to
be made to the building due to new fire regulations. This gives up the opportunity
to
Start somewhere new and build on what the basement achieved
Renegotiate the deal at Lever Street (probably; we are taking legal advice)
Give up on the idea of a Manchester social centre
Do something else!
We need to start working *now* if we want to rebuild The Basement (which is as
about ideas and people as much as one physical space) The collective have received
many messages pf support and love since the fire – it feels like people miss the
space and want an autonomous, creative, grassroots action focused community hub in
Manchester – but we need people to offer ideas, energy and commitment to make
things happen!
Please come along and get involved, if you can’t make this meeting there will be
others and you can also contact us with your thoughts on
mustsocial@yahoo.co.uk.
Please forward this message far and wide…. We hope to see you at the meeting so we
can talk about practical revolution, vegan cake and the return of the basement
with love and conkers from
the basement collective xx
