The First London Anarchist Studies Network London Social - Be There or Be Somehere Else!
Tuesday 2nd March, 7pm - Freedom Bookshop, Whitechapel.
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.
Freedom is at Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street - nearest tube Aldgate East. For those arriving late, we will at some stage decamp to the nearby White Hart public house for further refreshments.
