ICC, Kimberley School
Notts SOS
(Notts SOS) about local anti-cuts activity. This week news on our
campaign against cuts to funding for the International Community
Centre, a victory for campaigners at Kimberley School and some
upcoming events.
--------------
MEETINGS
We meet every two weeks which means that the next meeting is Monday
20th February.
Meetings start at 7.30pm and are held at the International Community
Centre, Mansfield Road. Meetings are usually finished before 9pm and
there's often an opportunity to carry on any discussion informally in
the pub afterwards. Please do come along and get involved.
---------------
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY CENTRE
One of the proposals in the city council's budget is that the grant it
provides the International Community Centre (ICC) on Mansfield Road
(where we meet) be cut from £54,000 to nothing.
There are 114 user groups at the ICC and we're are doing our best to
contact them about what is intended and see if some will come to our
next Notts SOS meeting on Monday 20th Feb and/or take other action. We
have written a letter/flyer that is being put in every room.

VICTORY AT KIMBERLEY SCHOOL
Congratulations are in order for the Save Kimberley School campaign.
On Tuesday evening (February 7th), the school's governing body
rejected academy status. This vindicates the all the work done by the
campaign, unions and supporters. Well done all!
