I’ve been so bad at posting updates etc. but, in my defence, I’ve been away and busy. Anyway, hopefully some of you are planning to go to the next Thursday meet (29th August). I am.

NEXT HFC EVENT: SUNDAY SOCIAL, Sunday the 2nd December 2012, from 1pm
(c) Jacky Fleming
Every so often we just want to get together, make stuff, read stuff and talk gender equality.
We take over the cellar of the lovely Coffee Evolution in Huddersfield town centre and get up to all sorts. It’s a good way to meet us if you don’t fancy a proper ‘meeting’.
All are welcome to pop in and join us for a brew. Regular features include a feminist library (bring books if you’d like to share them!), a ‘current affairs’ table with newspaper clippings and other bits and bobs, and crafty activities. We sometimes also play our own music, so bring a CD if you fancy playing DJ. 🙂
Next Sunday Social:
Sunday 2nd December 2012, from 1 to 4pm
This will be an arty farty session to make some flyers and posters and to re-vamp the website and generally make plans for future events and activities. Please bring photocopies, scissors, glue, sparkly things, photos, any other pictures/images you can let us use, magazines, felt tips, paper – in fact any art materials you’ve got – and we’ll see what beautiful, powerful stuff we come up with!
Coffee Evolution, 9A Church Street, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire HD1 1DD.
Any queries please ring 01484 843 034

NEXT HFC EVENT: SOMETHING OF SIGNIFICANCE, Monday the 30th April 2012, from 7pm
The next event will be at the Sportspersons Pub, Huddersfield, on Monday 30 April, 2012, from 7pm.
It’s been far too long since we held an event so to get things going, we’re inviting everyone to a Something of Significance Social.
The Sportsman pub have kindly offered us a room for our exclusive use. The idea is that people bring along an object (can be anything at all, as long as it’s portable – and not too big) that they can talk about in terms of its significance to them from a feminist viewpoint. Just a couple of minutes for each person, not a presentation, depending on how many people want to do this on the night. It’s a way of getting to know each other a bit better by sharing things that matter to us.
Hope you can come!
NEXT HFC EVENT: READ MY LIPS, Monday, the 30th January 2012
Well, we decided we wanted a book group. And a film society. Oh, and a song club too. That would also discuss zines, blogs, art, TV shows and other types of media and look at them from a feminist perspective. And so Read my Lips was born!
Next get-together:
Monday 30th January 2012
Tyrannosaur (18) Paddy Consadine
Join us to watch the film Tyrannosaur at the Lawrence Batley Theatre, then stop for a discussion of the film in the upper bar afterwards.
Click here for more info about the film and how to find the LBT.
Film starts at 7.30, tickets £6. Look out for us in the foyer from 7.15 or let us know you’re coming so we can look out for you!
* * *
Everyone’s welcome. Items for discussion can be anything – the only things we ask are that they are short enough for busy people to read/watch/otherwise digest, and that they are relatively available so people can get hold of them in advance of our get-togethers. They do not need to be ‘feminist’ in themselves, the idea is that we discuss things from a feminist point of view.
We hope to meet around monthly at appropriate venues in and around Huddersfield.
To make suggestions or to find out about our next get-together, drop an email to us at info@feministcollective.org.uk and we’ll let you know the venue and what we’re going to be talking about next.
