=//= Social Centre News / The Rampart & Bowl Court newsletter - 30th June 2008 =//=

Okay, so not a lot coming up this week at Bowl Court Social Centre but feel free to pop in whenever you are in the local area.

We had a great little surprise after-mass party of Ping Pong and Dubstep after the (massive) Critical Mass on Friday which was in memory of Marie Vesco. Critical Mass indymedia report at: http://indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/06/402051.html

If you want to learn something, anything and/or everything send an email to bowlcourt@riseup.net letting us know what it is in order to arrange workshops/skillshares. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss the concept of deschooling/unschooling/free skooling then also get in touch to find out when the next meeting for the free skool itself will be.

We hope to have an info night this week about the upcoming Fete against the G8, we will let you know details of this in a short update this week.

## TUESDAY 1ST JULY

7PM @ Bowl Court

[[ Riseup!, indymedia and aktivix info night ]]

Most people are familiar with http://riseup.net whether they are signed up to a dozen mailing lists provided by them (including this very newsletter!) or have their mailing account with them. However this is only one element of their work known as Riseup Networks. The other part is known as Riseup Labs and refers to their research and development of “free software that promotes security and privacy.” If you are interested in hearing further about their work then come along to Bowl Court on Tuesday to hear from a person involved in the project and ask them a question or two. Also at the space will be someone to talk about the UK’s equivolent of riseup! (http://aktivix.org/) which also provides wikis and someone to introduce the new London Indymedia website which will be in action someday soon.

This workshop is designed for guitarists in particular, but possibly other instrumentalists also, who already have some working proficiency on their instrument, be they professional, semi-professional or amateur and who feel the need to expand their knowledge of music theory and harmony.

[[ G8 cafe ]]

The G8 will be meeting next week in Lake Toya, Japan for another round of bollocks.

Bowl Court will be screening any footage we can get our hands on in the evenings that the summit is taking place. There will be vegan food provided free/by donation. This is an opportunity to find out what is happening in Japan and also to discuss ideas of actions in London.

## SATURDAY 5TH JULY

[[ Internation Day of Action against the G8 ]]

the London fete against the G8 (http://londonfete.ucrony.net/)

On the 5th of July 2008, people all around the world will protest against the G8 summit 2008 in Japan.

Globalisation has created huge movements of people to the centres of capitalism. However whilst capital - money and commodities - has been granted ever-expanding freedom of movement, the movement of workers as migrants is subject to increasingly complex and brutal systems of control.

Militarisation of the borders, raids on communities and work places, the expansion of migrant prisons and deportation centers, restrictive visa regimes and the revival of nationalist fears and hate are all being used to segregate, divide and weaken the working class. Along with building the border regime, governments restricted the possibilities of assembly, protest and any form of dissent wherever possible.

In Britain today, the role of managing and policing this system to benefit the rich is carried out by the UK Border Agency (formerly known as BIA), an executive agency of the Home Office in the United Kingdom.

Lunar House, a massive twenty-storey office block in Croydon, South London is the headquarters of the UK Border Agency. Just over the street there is Electric House, a reporting centre, where hundreds of asylum seekers visit everyday from miles away to fulfil their reporting obligations’. They are often arrested on the spot, there are holding facilities ( short-term prisons) where asylum seekers are being kept until they get transferred to an immigration removal centre.

London NoBorders is calling for actions against the UK Border Agency.
It is time to join forces, for freedom of movement, the freedom to protest and equal rights for all !

[[Bikeride to Croydon]]

A Day Out In Croydon!

Londonfete invites for a bikeride/critical mass
to Croydon, Saturday July 5th as part of the International Day of Action
against the G8, starting on Brixton Oval SW2 1JG
(Ritzy Cinema, Brixton Reclaim the Food)

Meeting 10am, starting 10.30

After arriving in Croydon (12ish) we have refreshments and go for a little tour around Croydon centre to visit the wonderful tourist attractions of the UK Border Regime.

PS: people can either cycle back together in the afternoon (after protest ended), or if people like they can take the bike for free on the train from Croydon East (5min from protest area).

Details in the next two days …
see http://londonfete.ucrony.net
Inform, invite your friends, fix your bike, get ready, go!

## SATURDAY 12TH JULY

[[Feminist Activist Forum on trans and intersex issues]]

A Transgender and Intersex Learning Exchange: Feminism and Gender & Sex Diversity.

12pm - 6.30pm, Saturday 12th July, Lambeth Women’s Project, 166a Stockwell Road, London SW9 9TQ. Nearest Tube: Brixton

FAF are presenting a learning exchange on trans and intersex issues and their relationship to feminism. The relationship between feminism and transgender in particular has not been a smooth one in the history of feminist activism. This learning exchange is geared toward people who may be unsure of the importance or relevance of transgender to feminism, particularly from an intergenerational perspective.

This event has been organised by a collective of trans and non-trans feminists, and trans-people will be actively involved in the running of the day, including speaking at and facilitating sessions.

We want this to be a safe space for people from all backgrounds/feminist perspectives to come together, ask questions, exchange ideas, make mistakes, learn, create, and build alliances.

Early notice of ramPARTY, 6th June
>  INTERACTIVE DINERS CLUB
Wed 14th, 7pm, Bowl Court Liberty Zone

We've been threatening for ages to put on a radical assembly, an
opportunity to for activists in London and beyond to speak about
campaigns they are involved
in and learn about other projects taking place.

Well it's already happening and you are hereby invited to the 2nd
Interactive Diners Club!

This is a social and networking event for activists that takes the
form of a go-round where everybody present gets to introduce
themselves and the campaigns or projects they are involved in.
Everyone then tucks into food and everyone gets to chat, plot and
conspire.

The idea is to inspire and re-energise each other, form new links,
strengthen old alliances, share skills and resources, raise awareness
and get people involved. Those who experienced the original pre CJA
Interactive Diners Club in the early nineties, the RTS meetings or the
late 90's London Underground meetings etc. will know what kind of
thing to expect.

It takes place on WED 14TH MAY, 7pm at the new squatted social centre
in Shoreditch. The address is 6 Bowl Court, off Plough Yard which is
next to the Drunken Monkey at the junction of Great Eastern Street and
Shoreditch High Street. Nearest tubes are Old Street and Liverpool
Street.

Please bring (vegan) food to share along with leaflets, flyers,
posters etc for upcoming events.

It is hoped that these assemblies will happen every month at different
autonomous spaces around London. Please network this widely to make it
happen.

> DiSSiDENT iSL@ND
Broadcasting from Bowl Court, this weeks show features an interview
with someone from Keep it in the Ground talking about actions against
a new coal mine being planned in Derby, as well as someone from the
Lakenheath Action Group talking about 'Three strikes and you're out'
which is part of a larger campaign for the withdrawal of US bombs from
Britain. We'll have an activist from the Industrial Workers of the
World (IWW) in to talk to us about getting organised at work, upcoming
events and campaigns, and the relevance of trade unions in today's
society. And, we have DJ Slippahz on the decks with some dubstep later
too....so it promises to be a wicked show.

Tune in on Friday from 9pm on www.dissidentisland.org

Or, if you miss it, you can download the show from our
site….available from Saturday.
> City of the Sun, art exhibition 23rd, 24th, 25th
@Bowl Court
With London as the theme, the works depict some of the many possible
ways to live this city from different points of view that usually are
not represented by the mainstream. "Many of us came here not long ago
from other countries. What are we looking for? What sort of dreams are
we trying to make real? Why have we left our ''cities of sun'' behind?
As foreigners we usually keep strong links with our countries of
origin. As a consequence we look at London without forgetting what is
happening simultaneously in other parts of the world and with a
special attention for what is different from what we were used to,
back home. Is the urban space meeting the needs of its inhabitants?
Our artworks are our way to deal with the many dysfunctional elements
of this city and with the extreme sense of alienation that we often
experience in the disorientating geography of London."

Friday 6pm -12 opening, drinks and djs
Sat 1pm - 12 with live music from 6pm
Sun 1pm - 12 sound performance and video
> Other News
> Early notice of ramPARTY
6th June - @ Rampart Street
ramPARTY for the 4TH anniversary of the creation of the rampART social
centre - films, cabaret, performances, poetry, bands. Possibly a
benefit to start a seed fund for new social centers or a social center
fighting fund.

(Planning meeting 2 pm Fri 16th in rampart street.)

Which reminds me. In the last newsletter we mentioned plans to compile
a book about the four years of the rampART as a way of recording our
history and experiences. If you have something you would like to
contribute; a Rampart related story to tell, photographs, old flyers,
advice, how-to-guides, etc. then email us. Photos and video would be
great as we can produce some kind of a presentation for the 4th
anniversary.
> Planning rampARTS demise
Developers have put in an application for change of use and
redevelopment of 15-17 Rampart Street, the warehouse that has been
home to the rampART social centre for the last four year. Objections
must be submitted by 28th May (although this deadline is unlawfully
short as the notices only went up on the 8th). Please email us if
you'd like to write an objection. More details next week on or
indymedia.
> Welcome to the Liberty Zone
Speaking of objectionable developments, the campaign against the
construction of 645,000 square feet of skyscraper offices, 310 flats
and a hotel behind Bowl Court has stepped up a notch with residents
declaring an ancient right to self-determination!

Maps in the City of London Guildhall Library show the neighbourhood
has the status of a distinct district with liberty and independence
from central planning law in the capital. Although this was meant to
have been rescinded, documents have been discovered that apparently
question whether the little piece of liberty might still stand.

Madness singer Suggs is to release an album called The Liberty of
Norton Folgate (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=111508026&blogID=393664545
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXFJVsjpfg8) and we’re tempted to
consider appropriating the term to name our still nameless social
centre.

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Folgate
> Phone and Net at Bowl Court
Finally, as mentioned last week, we've been working on providing phone
and internet at the new place without the need to install a fixed line
and contract. That's now done.... it's good to talk  ;-) 

The geeks among you can call 30130392@voipfone.co.uk for free via SIP
using a softphone like X-lite on your computer or a hardware IP phone.

Normal humans can simply phone 05601 034560
(calls charged at 5p/min daytime, 2p/min evening and ~1p/min weekends from BT)

Rampart Newsletter 30th April 2008

Posted by therampart on April 30, 2008

Hi there,

We now have two social centres on the go!

As you can imagine our new one is getting all the attention but we still have the older one to be used and tended to.
We had two huge parties last Friday, a launch party at the new Shoreditch space with the Dissident Island, and the Speakers Corner gig in Whitechapel, and both went really well. Thanks to the organisers and everyone who came.

If you can help out with fixing up the new space or would like to propose an event or project for either of the spaces please get in contact with us. rampart@mutualaid.org

We are alternating our Rampart meetings between the two spaces, next week (Monday 5th May) is at 15-17 Rampart Street, then the week after at the Shoreditch space 6 Bowl Court, and so on. Meetings start 7pm.

Our new space has progressed fantastically thanks to all the hard work from the crew involved. There are stairs to the different floors, running water, and working toilets! We want to build a bigger kitchen on the first floor to create something of a cafe space with nice bay doors.. that would be good! So.. if you have plumbing skills or want to be part of what could be a cafe collective let us know.

Enough for now as there is loads going on this week :

Come and celebrate Mayday in Mayfayre, rejoice in the streets with our fellows - for International Worker’s Day, for the Ancient Rites of May the 1st and the coming of the summer, to celebrate and insist on our right to free assembly

http://www.spacehijackers.org.uk/

Mayday 2008 is the 300th anniversary of the last free Mayday before the Grand Jury suppression of the traditional May Fayre in central London; a riotous, raucous celebration of fertility and freedom.

From the 1st of May each year, and for up to two weeks afterwards, the people stopped working, rejected their normal routines then danced, drank, laughed and made love in the streets, jeering at the controlling figures of the Church and State, and turning everything they could upside down.

It was known as such “a nursery of vice and debauchery”, that after 1708 the authorities, having had enough of this dangerous freedom and subversion, shut it down. Although there were some attempts at reviving it, the creeping spectre of gentrification made sure it couldn’t continue, as the area of the fayre was gradually built over with palaces and playgrounds for the rich.

To commemorate this significant anniversary, and the still thriving tradition of over the top state control, the Space Hijackers and the Metropolitan Police proudly present a collaborative re-enactment of the end of this traditional May Fayre. Our modern-day interpretation of the cycle of uprising and suppression is in keeping with the attempted repression of parties, protests and gatherings enacted by the state throughout the ages.

In act one, the Space Hijackers will be inviting people to join a mayday street party in it’s traditional home, with music, bands, food and revelry. This will be later followed by the Metropolitan Police Players, who will be re-enacting a classic clamping down on civil liberties and freedom of the people.

All are welcome to this celebration, bring food, bands, mead, rum, codpieces, bales of hay, 18th century prostitutes, music, laughter, wonky teeth, corsets, bustles, spit roasts and virgins dancing around poles.

The exact location of the fayre is still a closely guarded secret, however it will be revealed closer to the date here on our website.

Friday 2nd May 2008 6pm
City Hall London

The election for the Mayor of London and for members of the Greater London Assembly takes place on Thursday May 1st. The results will be announced on the evening of May 2nd.

On Friday May 2nd people will gather at City Hall in London to vent their anger at the ‘democratic’ process of electing representatives. This country is not democratic, representation every four years is rubbing stamping within confined limits the political institutions of capitalism.

Lets get down to City Hall on May 2nd - and bring friends!

We’re not saying people shouldn’t vote, thats their choice. We’re saying if we want to change and improve our situations and create a free society, we need to build a counter-power in London that challenges and not reinforces these institutions.

By developing our presence and supporting social struggles where we live and work and play we can change the power balance.

{{= STREET BLITZ - London =}}

1 – 15 May 2008
2 weeks of creative urban modification
http://www.streetblitz.org/

THE CONCEPT
Two weeks to use London as an open gallery. Install your art, modify something currently spoiling your view or do something which changes the perspective on our city. You then mark it onto the map on the Street Blitz website along with text and pictures.

THE MOTIVATION
The corporate image factory spends a huge amount of money on billboards, posters, flyers or ‘guerrilla’ marketing campaigns masquerading as street art. They fill your lives with an unrelenting barrage of preposterous ideals, numb values and false icons. No one asks for your permission before they push these images in your face so neither should we seek consent in order to leave our own mark on the city.

DEEDS NOT WORDS
We propose a 2 week blitz of street art in London between 1-15 May 2008. Whether you make murals, stencils, stickers, posters, sculptures, street projections, sign modification/removal/additions, billboard subverting/defacing/destruction etc; whether creative or destructive; whether to convey a message, brighten up a dull spot, rewire some corporate brainwashing tactics; whether to leave your mark, remove a stain, express yourself or simply to show your disgust – it’s all valid and all adds to The Blitz!

THE PROCEDURE
During the proposed two weeks we want you to use London as an open gallery. There is a map of the city primed and ready for Blitzers to post their activities, no matter how big or small, onto a map overlay. Install your art or anything which changes the perspective on our city then get online and post it onto the empty map on the Street Blitz website at www.streetblitz.org. You can add a description and any photos of your work. There will also be room for comments on each placemark which can also be used to tell us if the artwork is still there or if the miserly bureaucrats got there first.

THE FUTURE
Is ours. We wish to encourage Street Blitzes in other cities around the world. We can set up sub-domains, email accounts and maps for these events - you just need to set the dates and promote it locally. The idea is that most people work best to deadlines and it also creates an intense burst of activity which is more readily perceivable and which turns the city into a temporary gallery space.

THIS IS YOUR CITY
Leave your mark!
