A building was squatted – it became a social centre and was named after an umbrella.
Now, after two years, we who live in it want to invite more people to be a part of the activities of the social centre, and call-out for help to go forward with events, gigs, info-nights, film showings and more, which will benefit people in East Cardiff and beyond, and provide a lasting injection of ideas of radical social change in an area where poverty is creating destitution and government cuts are biting further.
To further our aims we will have monthly meetings, work-days, and as much as we can possibly fit into this space.
We hope to see you at the first of these meetings, tonight, at 7pm, and please check the Calendar for more events already organised for this month as we welcome the coming of the spring!
Love, peas, rage, and don’t forget Squeebs!
Happy two and a half years (nearly!) x
There haven’t been many people showing up to the social centre meetings,
so we’ve decided to hold more promoted ones once a month. They will be on
the first Tuesday of every month.
Therefore the next general meeting will be on Tuesday 4th March at 7pm.
And around this time we plan to hold a workshop to get another step
forward in renewable energy generation - with the making of our very own
pedal powered generator! So we can then always keep the juice in the
batteries! 
We are also starting weekly cleaning and maintenance sessions, hoping to
improve the condition of the building itself and make it more suitable and
inviting as a venue. If you want to help out or get to know the crew, come
along on Saturday between 12noon and 4pm.
It is also possible to contact the crew by emailing us on the usual email
address - 
Meetings, as ever, at the Red and Black Umbrella, 57-58 Clifton Street,
Cardiff CF24 1LS – hope to see you there.
Love & rage
The crew - squeebo, gala, indi, lost and danu - x
