LARC

Greetings all
Sorry for my no show at the meeting yesterday, hope it was productive.

The man from the foundry has not got back to me, I have email him and called up there but he was out. I can try another day but it is harder to get about as Rob is uni now again so I am more restricted with my time. Maybe the old street possee could go and check him out. It is not far for them, his name is Jonathon, we is there from about 4.30 each day.

On a much more interesting note I have booked us in for the dates we need at LARC, here is their blurb on the web page:

A collectively run building providing space and resources for people and groups working on self-organised, non-hierarchical projects for radical social change. The resources of the building include meeting-space, library, shared offices, a roofgarden, banner and prop-making space and an action information area. If you're interested in helping out with LARC, booking a meeting-space, or otherwise using the buildings resources, please contact us at the address above...

Check it out, it is an old Victorian building steeped with history, opposite an old very notorious doss house. It too has a secret history, was bought derelict by a collective about eight years ago and over the years its history has come out. Its now a social centre and a few years ago we found out it used to be a Jewish radical school at the beginning of last century.

The building fits our needs as originally it was a house, we will use the whole of the ground floor. It is knocked through into one big space. We could create a bed-sit, front room or a bedroom for the show easily in this area.


Talking of area, it is bang in the heart of Whitechapel, five minutes from the end of brick lane, next to the Whitechapel gallery, lots of creative people who would potentially come as it was within walk of their gallery....

We will get the place for a donation, as its a handshake job they have told me to decide what the donation is.

I have arranged to take anyone who wishes to see the place there after uni tomorrow, I have spoken to Lee and know that some of you are visiting other places first but I am five minutes walk from there so it is just a call to get me there to show people around.

I leave this to the table but think this is a definite possible due to the building, its history and the location.

Talk tomorrow
