[BigBlether] lost and found

[Jamie Heckert]

Dear Bletherers,

Just so you know my lost items have been found. Thanks to everyone who 
helped me look.

Sorry I rushed off without saying goodbye to so many folk. For those who 
were asking about my research on sexuality and anarchism, more details 
are available at http://sexualorientation.info/ . Just drop me a note if 
you want to be kept up to date on what I do with it.

Finally, thank you to everybody for help making what was a really good 
weekend for me. I hope it was good for you, too.

Lots of love,
Jamie

ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR A.C.E.!



       ACE WELCOME MEETING 
      -bring food to share- 


7:30 at A.C.E. Wednesday 24 MAY -find out about plans

for the new ACE resource centre and how you can get

involved..



The Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh is an independent

self-managed resource centre.  ACE exists to support

and encourage people to feel empowered to take more

control over their own lives and to co-operate with

others to achieve collective aims. We believe in

people co-operating as equals to create a shared world

free from exploitation, oppression and hierarchy. Our

premises are near the city centre, just off Leith

Walk.



We have recently obtained a donation which will enable

us to make great improvements to our Centre and start

various exciting new projects. If you share our vision

of self-organisation without politicians or leaders,

then we invite you to get involved in and help shape

these new developments.



                   NEW IDEAS



a cheap  wholefood shop selling healthy food 


an info shop with hard-to-find magazines, pamphlets,

books, leaflets, fanzines, cds plus zapatista coffee

and handicrafts



film nights, discussions, public events, guest

speakers



anti racist, anti war,  feminist health, queer

politics - workshops and actions socials, benefits and

gigs



attractive meeting space open to a wide range of

groups, with a small kids space to make it

child-friendly



computers, internet, scanner, photocopier, film

projector and other facilities



widening the existing edinburgh claimants activity to

create solidarity networks



a library of books, pamphlets and radical magazines



These are just some of the existing ideas - all are

welcome to suggest and start up new projects.  ACE is

not a service provided to others, but rather a space

where people can work together to help themselves and

each other.





             HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED



Help in the redecoration and renovation of the

premises - whether you have a particular skill, or

just fancy wielding a paint brush, that will be a

great help.



Join the working groups for one or more of the above

projects. Take an idea along for a group you'd like to initiate

or help run in the centre. We are open to any new

suggestions based on the priniciples above.



Come to our meetings, 7.30pm at ACE the first

Wednesday of every month, and often other dates, contact us for details

Drop in any Tuesday afternoon 1-4pm when Edinburgh

Claimants host an open advice and solidarity session, and the info shop and

library are open. To join our e mail list – go to http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/ace
