News from OCSET

OCSET, Oxford's project for a social centre, has been given a £10,000 grant to rent premises, and the search continues for suitable spaces.

Members of the OCSET collective met last night (7th July). We are currently looking for a suitable space in Oxford to RENT so as to be able to do things we cannot set up in squatted spaces, such as the indymedia-run media centre. Currently, we have an application in with East Oxford Community Association to rent the ex-Claimants' Union space at EOCC. Attached here are the application and the covering letter to EOCA. We are one of several applicants, and the latest news is that the decision on who gets it has been postponed until the next EOCA Management Committee (date tbc).

Meanwhile, we have made contact with the organisers of the old Photographer's Workshop (103-104 St Marys Road). Currently the space is used by Asian young people, and they were extremely welcoming to OCSET for us to use the space for screenings and community cafes. As so many people are away during July, we decided last night that we would delay putting on a cafe / screening until August. It is a great space, and we're very grateful to the organisers for letting us use it.

We are continuing to investigate spaces available for rent. The EOCC space, at only £300 a month all in, is ideal in enabling us to rent for at least a couple of years, and probably longer. A commercial rent for a property is likely to be too expensive for us to be sustainable, although we are looking at all possiblities. But ideally, we're looking for some kind of less-than-full-commercial-rent deal on a space that will be empty for some time.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYWHERE?

If so, please e-mail OCSET.

Bye for now.

WATCH FOR THIS SPACE!
