Netball reports thus:
Well i have to say that saturdays game was a pretty poor show from the Too’s…as they could only russle up 4 players!!! Their captain did her very best to get a team out for the 10am game but ended up having to forfeit the game and possible points. It seemed a waste of everyones time to not have some sort of game tho, so instead she organised abit of a friendly! She even suggested doing it in fancy dress at one point!!
Calling on the Div 6′s to come forward at 8am on a saturday when they don’t have a match planned, it was a tall order!!! Well done to Lin Heal, Emma Whitaker, and our one more Mare( Mary Coohill) for getting out of bed (or at least postponing getting INto bed!) and coming over to The Grange to play a game of our beloved Netball!! ….and in case you were wondering…..we made a unanomous desision not to mention the score……

Jesse Tate’s Worldwide World Premier
Last night saw the worldwide world premier of Over The Wall Jesse Tate’s film about the Easton Cowboys in the West Bank. After the traditional epic struggle in The Cube’s projection room a nearly full Cube enjoyed the film. And so we got to answer the age old question, “How many Easton Cowboys does it take to project a film?”… . A massive thank you to Curly Paul for sorting the sound out and to The Cube volunteers in the projection room for keeping calm as the audience impatiently drank beer and a nervous director chewed his figures off.
The film was well worth waiting for, especially for Kaz’s goal celebration dance.
Contenders Ready…

Women In The Stadium
Don’t forget that the Bristol Palestine Film Festival is showing Women In The Stadium today at 1pm.
Women in the Stadium is a brand-new documentary directed by Palestinian filmmaker Sawsan Qaoud and produced by Al-Jazeera documentary Channel . It portrays the personal stories of four players of the Palestinian Women’s National Team. Through their sporting excellence these women struggle against checkpoints, which prevent them from training, and against the perception that women should not participate in public sport events. Girls who have suffered hard times in their lives see these young women as role models realizing their dreams. Football becomes a source of inspiration and hope.
1-in-12 In Danger Of Closure
From: http://www.freedompress.org.uk/news/2011/11/29/infamous-anarchist-club-needs-your-help/
Bradford’s long running anarchist 1 in 12 Club in set for closure unless it can get the building up to fire standard regulations. They have just six weeks left in refurbishing the entire place and are calling upon the UK anarchist movement to roll up their sleeves and chip in. If you have time, money, skills and a bit of solidarity then Bradford is the place for you in the next few weeks. Freedom says good luck to our comrades in Yorkshire and we’ll do what we can to help. Please spread the word around your networks.
