Stop the War Christmas party & more...

[SOAS STW]

**99 soldiers have died in Afghanistan THIS year alone. If the total
reaches 100 we will meet on the SOAS steps the day of the
announcement, or the next day if over night, at 1pm to read the names
of the dead as a memorial and to say 'Not one more'. Please join us**

Our trip to see Mother Courage was really good. 30 of us went to the
Oxo Tower for drinks and discussion 1st, then to the theatre, then
back to Oxo for more drinks and more discussion and then the
remainding hardcore lot went to the boat party on the Thames.

Owen Hatherly came and spoke about Brecht and war; I have made a video
but cant quite upload it yet. The next trip is to see the brilliant
Pitmen Painters; a true stroy about a miners Art collective in 1930's
Newcastle. See http://playschoolrules.wordpress.com for more info.
