Re: reading group. I wrote the author name as Zoe Fairbarn. I don't know if that's right. It didn't come up as existing in a library search. ax<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/11/24 Juliet Kemp <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:juliet@earth.li" target="_blank">juliet@earth.li</a>></span><br>

Hi all - sorry for delay in posting the notes (I've been away). If<br>
I've missed anything, please add it!<br>
<br>
Announcements etc:<br>
- The Feminist Library needs volunteers - contact them<br>
(<a href="http://feministlibrary.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://feministlibrary.co.uk/</a>) or drop in on a Saturday between 11am<br>
and 5pm.<br>
- Reclaim The Night on Sat 21st Nov (which has happened now - hope it<br>
went well :) )<br>
- Self-defence day on Sat 28th Nov at Lift & Hoist (new social centre<br>
off the Walworth Rd). More are planned in the New year.<br>
- Anarchafeminist reading group will be meeting on Fri 11th Dec, &<br>
reading "Benefits" by Zoe W?<br>
- LAFK are now open again, and the next meeting is 6.30pm Sat 28th Dec<br>
at the Pogo Cafe, Hackney.<br>
- Various workshops on 28th Nov - 1st Dec up at the Mainshill Camp near<br>
Glasgow.<br>
- Fairshares at 56a are starting a herb co-op.<br>
- Art workshop at 195 Mare St in Hackney, 7pm Thu 26 Nov - come along to<br>
brainstorm images, raise awareness, and make political art.<br>
<br>
Discussions!<br>
- Some discussion about how to run the London part of the network, how<br>
often to have meetings, etc - not sure we came to much in the way of<br>
actual conclusions?<br>
- Lots of discussion around issues of welfare reform, and some thoughts<br>
about action around this, with ideas about flyering, about<br>
anarchafeminist perspective on work, parenthood, and so on. If anyone<br>
wants to get flyering, London Coalition Against Poverty<br>
(<a href="http://www.lcap.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.lcap.org.uk/</a>) have downloadable basic leaflets. There's a<br>
South-East LCAP meeting this week, I think?<br>
- There will be a women's health project starting when the Lambeth<br>
Women's Project is renovated and open again. Focus on an<br>
anarchist/DIY approach of skill-sharing, with courses/classes on<br>
feminist health and basic massage & so on, although there was also some<br>
mention of running a small radical feminist free therapy clinic.<br>
There's funding for vartious things including a herb garden. Probably<br>
starting around March.<br>
- Some discussion of publishing/producing further pamphlets in the "What<br>
the fuck does [x] mean anyway" series.<br>
- It was mentioned that LAFK has some climbing harnesses if anyone is up<br>
for a climbing skillshare. Possibly in January?<br>
<br>
Next meeting: Tue Dec 15th at the Lift & Hoist social centre.<br>
<br>
hope I haven't missed anything...<br>
<br>
<br>
