The Cowley Club is "a collectively run libertarian social centre" which does the odd talk, acts as a bookshop, does big meals for nice amounts of money and houses a heap of other projects as well. It's also run by volunteers so you may have heard a few cries for donations and fund-raisers to keep the club open. If you're into grassroots, social change and independent thinking, this is probably your thing.
"The slender venue is a mish-mash of different chairs, sofas and tables, bookshelves and a long bar. The array of furniture gives the venue a relaxed and unpretentious vibe, where you while away the hours drinking herbal tea and reading radical books and pamphlets."
Today there's the first in a series of bookshop events; a talk by Clive Boom, author of 'Violent London: 2000 years of Riots, Rebels and Revolts', and 'Terror Within: Terrorism and the Dream of a British Republic'. He'll be discussing his work in progress on Edwardian anarchism.
The event is free, so head there for 4pm. It will last until 6:30pm, and there'll be Q&A so get your intellectual anarchistic thinking cap on.
