Howdy!

I hope you are all well and settling into the first week of uni!

Our next meeting is planned for next Tues the 7th October at the Full Moon Pub on Glos Rd in Stokes Croft from 8pm. After the meeting we will go for a boogie at Mr Wolfs in town for a dub, hip hop and soul night which is only £2 entry.

Main things we would like to discuss are:

* upcoming bike ride we are planning with the aim of showing the main cycling routes around Bristol and how to get to UWE.
*We have a weekend trip coming up to an organic, sustainable farm just outside of Bristol where we can stay for free for the weekend to work and learn some skills so we would like to discuss some possiblities of dates.
*Also, Stand up Against Poverty day is coming up on the 17-19th October so we'll discuss what kind of action we could do for that as well.

If you have any ideas for actions and campaigns you would like us to get involved in, please bring them along, the direction the group takes is entirely up to the group.

There is a protest happening soon in London called the parliament rush which is to celebrate the fact that 100 years ago the Suffragettes went to

Parliament and demanded social change. On Monday October 13th from 5:30 - 7pm people will gather in period costumes to demand:
1. No airport expansion.
2. No new 'CCS ready' coal-fired power stations.
3. Create policy in line with the most recent climate science and research.
