But back to MMMM! on Monday 5 January:

We'll have a delicious (mostly organic) vegan curry from 6ish: 

Spinach in Gram Dal
Carrot and pea sabzi
Mushroom Kodova
Rice and Indian salads

To avoid disappointment, please pre-book food (or at least let us know you'd like food) before 3pm Monday. 🎟️ 🍲😋 

Shorts from around 6:30pm ish

And the main feature from 7pm:

A New Economy (1hr 25 mins) 2016

What if working together for the good of all was the most common business model? 


Watch as several organisations strive towards building a more cooperative future. By putting humanity before the bottom line, they are finding their place in a new economy no longer dominated by profits and big business.

This documentary features commentary by Gar Alperovitz (co-founder of the Democracy Collaborative and co-chair of its Next System Project); Richard Sennett (whose background is in ethnography, history and social theory) and John Fullerton (author of Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Principles and Patterns Will Shape the New Economy)

A New Economy features six cooperatively owned businesses, markets and social enterprises, urban farms and open value networks using commons-based production methodologies.


We'll also have:

Delicious (mostly) organic vegan curries from Fergus Bradbeer aka Vegie Vortex (who also used to do the curries at Beach and Barnicott), plus hot and cold drinks. 

Please note:

Our room hire costs £48/ week so if you're able to able to contribute more than the default ticket amount then please do so. 

We also need to ensure enough people come along to make it worthwhile for Fergus to keep coming along to cook up the delicious food - so invite a friend!

Many thanks in advance. Together We Have Everything.
