[matilda] 2 proposals

[Becky]

The proposal to do a film night and party at Matilda went on the list a
couple of weeks ago - see below
- so I assume no ones got a problem with it but just to remind people:

Sheffield noborders want to do a film showing & discussion followed by party
with band and soundsystem on Friday 9th September.  We'd need some of the
space from about 6pm to set up.
We could really do with people getting involved in advance, and also to
commit to helping on the night eg: with the bar or the door.

We're having our next meeting on wed 24th Aug at 7pm at Matilda (if no-one
objects) so please come along then to find out more and get involved.

As Fabian said in his email we're also going to be doing a magical mystery
tour on 1.10.05 - part of a national day of actions by noborder / no-one is
illegal groups.  Again we'd really appreciate people getting involved with
publicity, or being tour guides on the day, or doing performances or street
art as part of the tour.

thanks

> Hi there....
> the briefly formed group sheffield no-borders will participate in the
> uk wide day of action for the freedom of movement and the right to stay
> on 1.october with a magical mystery tour to be held in Sheffield on
> October 1st. The magical mystery tour took place for the first time in
> Glasgow during G8 mobilisations, have a look at
> http://www.makebordershistory.org
>   and works basically like a tourist style walking tour through the city
> centre, hitting various places and buildings where racist policies are
> implemented through state agents or private cooperations (making
> profits off it) Participating "tourists" are introduced to background
> information about the visited sites.
> We hope to create awareness among participants and media about the
> "magical mystery tours" of racist institutions that asylum seekers,
> migrants and other foreigners are forced to go through when they do
> what is most natural and easy for people with "good" passports,
> tourists, managers, the global upper class:  crossing state borders....
> the tour is trying to promote the political demand of the abolishment
> of all national borders and immigration controls...e.g. the freedom of
> movement and the right to stay as basic human rights.

> As a fund-raiser and in the build up for the magical mystery tour,
> sheffield noboders is planning to do a party on the 9th or 10th of
> October in Matilda, including film screening, hip hop and (hopefully)
> trolleyd soundsystem.
> I hope this is cool with Matilda collective and also hope some people
