At the last meeting\, we sorted out such things as the bro ken toilet\, the broken window\, key access\, as well as discussing how to get space users more involved in the upkeep of the building. We decid ed on opening the space on a regular Friday night for socialising purpos es and will work on getting that disco ball up and running.
\nThen we f*cked off to the pub for some subversive chat over pints of ale and crisps. All in all\, a right laugh!
\nSo come get involved and he lp inject your enthusiasm and ideas into London's permanent\, autonomous ly organised resource space.

\nHELPING LARC KEEP ON K EEPING ON:
\nFor 10 years\, the London Action Resource Centre (aka LARC) \;has been a building where groups and individuals favouring positive social and ecol ogical change have been able to meet\, make banners\, stuff the latest a gitprop in a pocket\, watch films\, grow food\, listen to fine politicis ed acoustic tunes\, to read and to drink tea. We bought the place\, conv erted it and now run it according the heartfelt principles of leaderless \, consensual decision-making and a belief that the only lasting solutio ns to the current (and time-old) capitalistic madness are the ones that come from the bottom up.
\nBeautiful\, inspired squatted spaces ha ve come and gone\, but LARC has the potential to provide long-term suppo rt for London's direct action movements\, and to help provide a public s pace for them. So far\, although much could be improved\, it's gone pret ty well. In 2009 though\, we have lost a few key people from the small g roup that keeps the bills paid and the tea bags in abundance\, and we're putting out the call for those groups and individuals who have used or currently use the space to see if they're able to put a little more time in at the engine room of the project\, in order for it to carry on doin g what it does best\, and maybe even help to do it better. It's also tim e to see if there are new users out there who might be able to spare som e time.
\nSo one step towards reestablishing a strong group at LAR C's core is December's monthly meeting\, which will run from 7-9pm\, aft er which we'll eat some food or head to the pub. It's open to anyone\, a nd attending is not a commitment to taking anything on. For your interes t\, here are some of the jobs we're looking for help with:
\nIf you can't get to the meeting\, but might be up for helping with one of these roles\, email info@london arc.org Thanks and take care\,
