>>  mention of running a small radical feminist free therapy clinic.
>>  There's funding for vartious things including a herb garden.  Probably
>>  starting around March.
>> - Some discussion of publishing/producing further pamphlets in the "What
>>  the fuck does [x] mean anyway" series.
>> - It was mentioned that LAFK has some climbing harnesses if anyone is up
>>  for a climbing skillshare.  Possibly in January?
>>
>> Next meeting: Tue Dec 15th at the Lift & Hoist social centre.
