This is an opportunity for Anarchist students, researchers and Anarchist academics living, working or visiting in the capital to meet, talk and socialise. Freedom have even agreed to raise the ceiling to ensure all those pointy heads fit in the building!

Bring a bottle and get yourself down there.
