Please bring down some pieces (preferably prints as their will be left outside - the people inside cannot take responsibility for the work) and show people what the foundry was about - ART!! MUSIC!! and a beer afterwork of course... MORE ARTISTS NEEDED - COME DOWN AND AUTONOMOUSLY EXHIBIT WHEN YOU CAN - sooner rather than later. thank you

Your Bookfair Needs You

10-07-2010 13:22

2nd Callout for stalls and workshops
Dear Bristol Activists,

Your Bookfair needs you.

The third annual Bristol Anarchist Bookfair will happen on Saturday
September 11th at Hamilton House, 80 Stokes Croft, Bristol. From 10.30am
to 6.00pm and the bookfair collective wants you there.

The date of the event draws near, just nine weeks to go now. And the
deadline for applications for stalls and workshops is the 9th of August if
you want to appear in the program as it needs to go off to the printers.
(That's one month away guys!)

The sooner we get those applications landing on the doorstep of Bookfair
HQ or arriving in our inbox the sooner we can put time into those little
details that make Bristol Anarchist Bookfair stand out as a major event in
the radical diary of the South-West.

This event will not happen without radical groups and publishers in
Bristol and beyond holding stalls and workshops so it's over to you guys
now.

Please put it high up the agenda of your next meeting, hopefully you will
agree to doing something and ideally both a stall and a workshop (or even
a film/slideshow/talk/debate/recital).

The original full call out and the booking form is available on the
website www.bristolanarchistbookfair.org and click on Stalls & Workshops
in the top right hand corner.
For help or info e-mail us at bristolanarchistbookfair@riseup.net.

Love & Rage,
The Bookfair Collective
