[Imc-london-audio] Studio in Resonance subsiding so no show this monday!!

[BILL STICKERS]

Callout for all to come down to Brighton for...             M For Media Malarkey 
               - the SchNEWS Alternative Media Gathering 2007             May 11-13th 2007
               Cowley Club, 12 London Rd, Brighton, BN1 4JA
             You are invited to SchNEWS' first multi-media-activist gathering.                As well as a coming together of those already involved in web, video,                print, photography, and radio in alternative/independent media –                as well as activists who use this media - this event will also be                for new people wanting to get involved. Starting on Friday evening                and going through to Sunday evening, there will be a range of discussions,                hands-on practical workshops in the various media, as well as stalls                and screenings throughout the weekend to showcase what's currently                being produced. 
             After discussions amongst SchNEWS, as well as others' imput, about                what aspects of independent media should be highlighted during the                gathering, several key points have emerged: 
             
   Promoting campaigns and mobilising communities: evaluating                  and improving the way independent media helps the campaigns and                  actions it covers, as well as how campaigns use various media                  themselves – with speakers from campaigns talking about their                  experiences, and those working in alternative media.
   Improving Skills: Acknowledging that many people in alternative                  media come from 'activist' backgrounds, and are often getting                  by with very little 'training'. For video activists it may be                  about the battles with technology to produce and distribute video,                  for writers it may mean they have limited research or 'journalistic'                  skills, and those creating leaflets/flyers/publications would                  often benefit with more knowledge about design etc. There will                  be workshops and discussions to help improve skills in these and                  other relevant areas.
             The gathering will accommodate for the fact that while both these                topics, and many others, are common to all media, and many people                work in several media - there are also areas specific to each -                so therefore some of the key sessions will start with the whole                group together, then split off into the various types to discuss                aspects in more detail. 
              As well as this there will be talks from those involved in Pirate                Radio, mobile Indymedia set-ups for such events as the G8 protest                in Scotland, and more to be confirmed.
             While some speakers are confirmed, if you have relevant experience                in these areas and would like to be involved, please contact SchNEWS                now.
             Likewise if you want to come along, and need accommodation, contact                SchNEWS - we need to know numbers as soon as, so please give us                fair notice. 
             The event will be free/donation, and vegan food will be available                during the weekend in the Cowley Club.

Got this from Resonance as well as a phone call from Richard at Resonance
explaining about the state of things with the studio building. 
Trouble at mill! 

Dear All,

Due to structural damage to the studio ceiling, we are obliged to close the
studio effective immediately until further notice. All programmes from
Thursday 19 April are cancelled including pre-recorded material.
For the rest of this week we will move all
the equipment into the downstairs space with a view to broadcasting from
there.

The scale of the work we need to undertake over the next few days will leave
little time to arrange repeats.
The nightloop will be the sole broadcast during this period.

This also means that all live bands are likewise suspended until further
notice.

Many apologies for this. We have taken expert health & safety advice
concerning this matter and they have advised us to take this course as a matter
of urgency.

We hope to move to a new premises at the very earliest opportunity.
Until then, please bear with a schedule of repeats and disrupted
programming.

Please contact either one of us if more details are required.

For the next few hours (as of Wed 18th 15:41) will be contactable at the LMC
office 0207 403 1922

Yours
Ed Baxter, Richard Thomas and Chris Weaver
