The 2nd Annual Radical Bookfair in Hull report

Posted on by anarcomnet

The second annual radical bookfair took place this Saturday at the Danish Church.  It went ahead against a backdrop of far-right troubles across the country and a riot in Hull the previous Saturday.

The decision to go ahead was taken by the majority of the stall holders.  At the same time as the bookfair there was a anti hate demo in Hull which we publicised. 

We had some stalls drop out and it was a smaller event with only 6 stalls along with a café area and a representative from Unite the Union Community Branch who was there to support us.

Stalls:

ACG:

Socialist Party:

World Socialism:

Claire Gould – Author

Commune in the North:

AnarCom Network

We had a few visitors (over 50 in total) and everyone seemed to enjoy the day making contacts and networking. There was an impromptu poetry reading led off by Claire and finished by our own comrade Grumpaloe who read a selection from our rereleased Rebel Rose Poetry.

Overall, another successful day and something we can build on.

See you next year when we will be back bigger and better.

The AnarCom Network is a group of like-minded individuals organising in local groups (where possible) under a loose national network. We are a revolutionary anarchist communist working-class organisation that advocates the abolition of the State and capitalism in favour of a horizontal network of voluntary associations through which everyone will be free to satisfy their needs.
