Trans Grampian and reading group): see the website -
https://aberdeensocialcentre.org/events/
Heads-up that on Saturday 3rd May it is Int. Workers' Day (since 1890!)
and there will be a march and rally. Bring you banner and chants no
matter which bloc you are in.
_Now a word from your sponsors:_
As mentioned before, April is the start of the new affiliation year for
groups, but also for individuals. So, if everyone takes out a £10 annual
membership that will go a long way to pay expenses such as rent etc. We
take bank transfer, can take card payments at the Cafe, cash and vague
pledges as well. _Pay as much as you can though: if you don't have cash
no worries! but please still get involved! Solidarity_
_rates as well for individuals that can afford it and we encourage
paying a little extra._

Great news that we have now hit our target of 20 affiliated groups! That
is stunning and shows the strength of the activist community in the
north-east.

NEW MEMBERSHIP AFFILIATIONS
April is the start of the new membership affiliation year. We need
groups to keep affiliating and so please pay asap. Also, we would like
everyone who supports the Centre to join up as a member. We suggest a
!bargain! £10 a year (of course pay as much as you can - if you don't
have cash no worries, but please still get involved. Or there are
solidarity rates for those that can afford it and we encourage paying a
little extra). We accept bank transfer, we can take digital payments at
the Centre, we take cash, we take gifts in kind and even vague pledges
as well. If we get enough of you lovely people to do that, we pay the
annual rent basically.

Good evening,
On Saturday and Sunday, 14th & 15th of February, organisers for the
Aberdeen Social Centre are going to remove all contents of the office
room in order to paint and set up new shelving units.
To make this process easier, we ask if you could insure your affiliated
group(s) take some time to assess supplies and remove anything you no
longer have use of. The office has been overflowing with storage
lately, so please take the chance to tidy space.
Come 14/02, we will remove and rearrange what is left, so cleaning up
would also help to ensure things don't get lost!
Many thanks in advance,
ASC <3
