- Learning several techniques that you can use to assist your child to improve their reading and writing ability

- Finding out the potential benefits of you becoming your child’s own Dyslexia Support Coach

- Evaluating your ability to become a Dyslexia Support Coach to your child

We have just heard that The Bell Inn, St George, site of the recent Temporary Autonomous Artspace, was firebombed last night. Fortunately no one staying in the building was hurt but everyone is now leaving for their own safety. The police and Fire Brigade have been carrying out forensic tests at the pub today .

To help with transport etc please go to the pub this evening.

The gathering is designed for those wanting to take action and ideally people should come to both parts. A chance to meet other activists and gather our strength for the fun and games on the streets of Copenhagen in December.

Both sessions will start at 6.00 p.m. with supper at the Kebele Social Centre, Robertson Rd, Easton, BS5 6JY and finish by 9.30.

Around the country billboards containing Poppy Appeal posters from the Royal British Legion are displaying images of British soldiers in Afghanistan, or their greiving widows and family. While the appeal tried to raise it's annual £30 million, most people think the best way to help the troops is to bring them home and prosecute the politicians who sent them. Below we outline how to modify these billboards yourself to carry the messages 'BRING 'EM HOME' and 'PROSECUTE BLAIR'

Details of further Bristol based preparations...

In June this year, 33 people died defending their land and the climate against the state...maybe you could make it to Copenhagen to show some solidarity ? read full story / add a comment

I've been researching and looking at UWE courses to take in Bristol in order to learn more about the facts of climate change / global warming / climate destabilisation and likely effects.

Just looking at which course to take throws up some pretty scary stuff, this from UWE's Climate Change: Implications for the planning process course ...... "By 2100, as a consequence of global warming, global temperatures may have risen by up to 6.4 degrees Centigrade"
