It's been a while and there's quite a bit in the newswire at the
moment so thought a roundup might be good....

(perhaps a version focused on london spaces could be made for the london site)

rough contents....

Bowl Court court case update, uncertain future
rampART into 5th year, sorry state but no eviction

in rome, Fascists caught planting bomb in social centre entrance

new social centres websites, london and uk with dynamic newswires
Kebele revamp and proposal for network meeting in September

draft text..

The new London social centre located at the heart of the city fringe
expansion (http://bowlcourt.co.nr) lost in court on the 12th June and
is now considering next moves. Another new space opened in Nunhead
south london last week (link). Meanwhile, the long running rampART
social centre (link) in East London celebrated it's 4th anniversary
this month but is considering voluntary closure as it has been
suffering from neglect and lack of use since the owners were granted a
possession order in January.  Mill Road, a new space in cambridge,
also lost its court case last week but are expecting to keep hold of
the space for a while longer. However, they have also been
experiencing violent cowardly attacks. Attacks on autonomous spaces
have also taken place recently elsewhere. in Rome, fascists were
caught planting a bomb in the front yard of the ? social centre.
Fascists have also been mounting arson attacks on autonomous spaces in
Greece recently. You can keep track on news from UK social centres on
the social centres network website (there is also new web portal for
Londons autonomous spaces). There is a proposal for a UK social
centres network meeting in September to take place at the recently
refurbished Kebelei in Bristol (link).
