Black Cat - New adress

Hi All

Just to let you know that Baths premiere occupied community social centre, the Black Cat Centre is now happily settled in to its new home, and the address is



Unit 3A
Riverside Business Park
Lower Bristol Road
Bath
BA2 3DW



The best way to spot the place is looking for a red door opposite Pickfords on Lower Bristol Road, although we'll have a Black Cat sign up soon.



Check out the calendar at www.blackcatcentre.blogspot.com to see what's going on, or drop us an email at bathsocialcentre@gmail.com to put on your own event.



The place is huge, and has massive potential for any number of events/gigs/workshops/meetings etc - so pop down to help out, or just see what's on. For the next week or so, it's probably best to email before coming down as we are in the process of fixing the doorbell!!!!



See y'all soon

Black Cat Centre has a new home!


THE BLACK CAT HAS MOVED AGAIN!
After a productive month at the Methodist vicarage, the Black cat has moved on to pastures new. We are at the top of West Avenue (just around the corner from the old building) and our address is

63 West Avenue
Oldfield Park
Bath

We will only be in this building for a very short time (probably a week) and obviously have a bigger better place lined up for then, but for now, all Black Cat Calendar events are running as usual at the above address.

We have a massive list of activities every day, and are being used more and more by the local community, so come on down, or drop us an email if you want to start your own group or workshop.

For a full list of Black Cat calendar events, check out www.bathactivistnetwork.blogspot.com. To get in touch, email bathsocialcentre@gmail.com

Cheers

New boaters online resource


As some people may know, our boat dwelling brothers and sisters have been having a hard time of it lately, with British Waterways attempting to crush their way of life. Wanting to make the canals the sole domain of part time boaters and holidaymakers, BW are trying to push through various measures to get residents off the canals - BW hope to trial some of these schemes in the Bath area. A website has been set up to provide info and advice to the canal using community and can be found at - www.kanda.boatingcommunity.org.uk - a link can also be found on the 'co-conspirators' section of this site.

e-subvertising - all the cool kids are doing it!


Finally, a chance to maul those sickening Tory adverts that have been cropping up all over the place. Sure, we know Cameron is no different to Brown, or the rest of them, but his smug etonian mug is in dire need of some re-arranging, so here's your chance - just go to www.mydavidcemeron.com to make your own poster to spread all over the internet. Oh, and if you see one of these posters on the street, why not grab a can of spraypaint and let the world know what you think of the tories?

Bath Activist Calendar info

You may have noticed our sexy new calendar at the bottom of this page. Scroll up and down the calendar to see daytime and evening events events. There's already loads of demos, workshops, meetings, gigs and other events going on, and to add your own, drop us an email at bathactivistnet@yahoo.co.uk

IMPORTANT EVENT INFO - All events at the Black cat Centre may not be listed at the right address due to the rapidly changing address of a squatted social centre! For up to date info about the location of the Black Cat, check out www.blackcatcentre.blogspot.com plus posts on this site.

Black Cat Centre - updates and gig info

After nearly a month of occupation, it looks like the Black Cat social centre will be moving into a new home next weekend. Despite not having been evicted for the Ex-West avenue church, we are voluntarily leaving to allow the church to sell the building and use the funds for valuable community projects. Don't worry though, the Black Cat will only be moving a few minutes away and will be up and running asap.
In the meantime, we are having a leaving party this Friday with DJs Bretrin and ItAL putting on another dub club. Heres the info

Church of Dub
110 West Avenue (ex-oldfield park mathodist vicarage)
Bath

7.30pm - till late

Entry - free/donation

There will be a cheap bar, but feel free to bring yer own.
