SHUGS THE WORD
The next meeting will be on the 27th of January 2004, 7.00pm, upstairs in the Glass Bar. The title of the book we will be reading is: "The Mistress of Spices" by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni (one of the suggestions made earlier this year).

The ideal and focus of the book club will be very much the same as it has always been- the love of good books. Due to a reduction in admin cost the book club will now be FREE, however the Glass Bar will still require an entry fee of 50p (specially reduced for book club members).

In addition to the monthly book club sessions, we are also introducing quarterly social events starting in March. For example outings to see poetry events and theatre productions. We’d welcome any suggestions, ideas or information that you may have.

Women In London
A group intended to allow women's groups and other groups providing services, support, campaigns or media and art productions for women, the opportunity to use the internet to reach both individual women and other support services, in an immediate and direct way, at minimal cost and effort.

Is an initiative of microsyster, a women's group providing computer services to other women's groups and women working in the voluntary and charity sector in London for since 1982.

The purpose and intention of women in london is to:

Help groups working for women in London to quickly and easily make their details available via the Internet as it rapidly expands to become an accepted medium of communication, not only by other resource and referral agencies but by libraries, community based projects and the media

Allow individual women and support agencies in London who want to find appropriate services to be able to do this quickly and directly at a site with the shared focus of listings by and for women

We do not see this shared site as taking the place of groups developing their own web site, but hope that a directory listing then acts as a signpost to that resource.

microsyster also sees the existence of this site as a way of making an affirmative statement that the work of women's groups continues to exist and evolve in response to the changing needs of women in london.

If your group is interested in being part of the directory see the section on how to Join.
