Hello comrades,Our Militarism and Neutrality group made its glorious return last night and will be back again on Tuesday the 9th!
Tomorrow evening we will be hosting our second Film Club of the season and there’s still time to give the movie a watch before then, a chairde.
Next week will see the return of our Care and Community group, this time in FLUX. We will be in a lovely room that is tucked away a little bit, but there will be someone out front to give you directions to the space itself.
And please please believe us when we tell you that new members are always and eternally welcome! xx
