Rabbit Catching and Fire Starting workshop
Are you worried about the future? Is our current political, economic and ecological meltdown really getting to you? Do you get a strange feeling of dread each time you reach for a copy of the Metro on the floor of the bus?
If the answer to any of these questions is YES, don’t just sit there on twitter, feeling impotent and sad. Start preparing today!
A Future Manual will be holding a Rabbit Catching and Fire Starting workshop at Bargain Studio, to help you get ready for the world that’s coming our way.
In the day, you’ll learn how to turn a computer cable into a rabbit snare, and then head out to the woods around St Leonards to practice setting them*.
In the evening, we’ll walk up to The SPACE next to Warrior Square Station, and learn how to start a fire with nothing more than flint and steel. After the workshop, we’ll gather around the bonfire, eat jacket potatoes and beans, talk about why we’re doing this**, and feel just a little bit better about tomorrow.
Rabbit Catching: 2pm – 5pm at Bargain Studio,
Fire Making and Bonfire: 5.30pm – Late, The SPACE next to Warrior Square Station. Drop in at any point.
Food: Jacket potatoes served around 8pm.
Cost: £Pay-what-you-can (EUROS GLADLY ACCEPTED)
A Future Manual is a DIY guide to surviving and thriving in the bitter, barren world we’re creating for our children. You can find more information here.

Pot Luck Dinner
You are warmly invited to join our next Pot Luck Dinner on Friday 30th September, 7-10:30pm.
If you don’t know about the pot luck concept, everyone (if you can) brings a dish of hot or cold food or some sort of snack…anything really! It’s buffet style self-service. There is a kitchen where we can reheat food if necessary. Also, we are making it an alcohol-free night.
Please arrive as promptly as you can. We are showing the inspiring film ‘How to Change the World’ from 8:30pm onwards for those that wish to see it.
It will be very informal, we’d like to get to know more members. We’ll chat about ideas and potential new projects.
We’re already excited to see what you bring, last time the food was amazing! Come along and make some new friends.
