Lastly here's some text to share with your friends & networks about this years bookfair:
Bristol's 5th anarchist bookfair moves to The Trinity Centre this year, enticed by the possibilities of the green open space outside. Expect a mixture of traditional bookfair inside - that is some 60 stalls, 30 or so meetings & workshops; along with aspects of a fayre outside - outdoor activities, perma-nent-culture, demos, fun & games. Plus there'll be a kids space, and delicious vegan cafe. Entry is free, donations gratefully accepted, and everyone is welcome!
As we enter yet another year of the current economic recession, 2013 must be the year that Britain joins up with much of the rest of Europe in resisting the top down austerity measures that see the rich getting richer, and the rest of us getting poorer - the north-west European Spring has got to start somewhere soon!. The Bookfair says loud and clear that 'we won't pay for their crisis', and aims to bring you the information, knowledge, skills and contacts to put that slogan into operation. So whether you are a hardened anarchist, or a pissed off local looking for a dialogue about alternatives to the mess this country is in, you'll find something for everyone at the Bristol Anarchist Bookfair. We'll be seeing you here then!
The Bristol Anarchist Bookfair is on 20 April 2013, from 11am to 6pm
At The Trinity Centre, Trinity Road, Bristol BS2 0NW
Thanks everyone, help is appreciated.
Love & solidarity

Anybody or any group running a workshop on Land Reform... or the redistribution of land... returning the land back to the commons?
Who 'owns'... the land?
Is that a workshop you think you could host? If so please apply via the website www.bristolanarchistbookfair.org
We still have workshop slots to fill. The programme should be ready to go a couple of weeks before the event then we will know what we have for sure.
Hey Janet, it's written in the article "We also invite proposals to run meetings & workshops" so why not talk about 'returning the land to the commons' at the bookfair yourself sister?
I'm really looking forward to seeing more people working towards that end!
Janet - one off the marquees we'll be having in the garden at Trinity is being co-ordinated by Permanent culture now (see http://www.permanentculturenow.com/) and will largely focus on the sort of workshops you are interested in. If you are keen to run such a workshop then please do contact PCN.
Also outside we'll have the co-ordinators of the Trinity's permaculture garden doing some things like a herb info session and looking at how their garden functions; plus we hope to have a space which will allow local food initiatives (ie places like Sims Hill) to introduce their activities.
Meanwhile on the stalls inside we already have Land magazine booked in, and some other stalls that will carry literature on the subjects mentioned above.
We hope you come on the day, and bring all your friends!
