Women Awake!
A one-day workshop, they’re hoping to get women of all ages chatting, laughing, sharing and reminiscing about their experiences of activism, feminism and campaigning. Take down any memorabilia you’ve got kicking around, from badges to t shirts to posters and magazines – it doesn’t matter how old they are either. Also, if you take down your tape cassettes, vinyl or CDs, or even your own musical instruments, there’ll be a further get together in the evening where music will fill the air. Free to women on means tested benefits, or £18 to others, the day includes a veggie lunch and dinner plus hot and cold drinks. Bring your own alcohol for the evening portion of the day. All women aged nineteen or over are welcome, to book yourself on to the workshop, or to get more information, contact Rose on 07850 524319 or drop her an email [email protected].

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
