Please remember that all licenced events (i.e. when alcohol is being served, or there is live music, dancing or a film showing) are members and bone fide guests only. Please bring your membership card to guarantee entry.

To become a member you just need to pop down and fill in a form (you'll find them by the big brown membership box to your right as soon as you walk in) and stick it in said brown box with £2. Or you can download the form here: http://www.thecommonplace.org.uk/images/cpmemberform.pdf. Then either bring it down or pop it in the post in an envelope marked 'membership' (our address is at the top of this page). It takes 48 hours for your membership to be activated. We appreciate this is a bit of a fuss, but hey you get to come to some great events and be part of a wonderful place!

Sunday Brunch at The Common Place
Every Sunday 1pm - 3pm.
(Definitely until June 15th, but if you want it to carry on we need more volunteers!)

Come down and get a plate of tasty food for £2.50! We also have tea, coffee and fruit juice available.

The two computers nearest the kitchen area have been liberated from proprietary software, and are now running entirley free software.

They have been configured to be more reliable than last time. Data will not be saved between sessions so put it on a floppy/usb stick/CD-R/zip disk if you want to keep it (all these now work.) If you want a proper user account, ask and I'll set one up.

As you can see, we've got a new website. Some of the information here has been written afresh, some has been cobbled together from the old website. What we need now is for all of the user groups, working groups, collectives, etc. to check that there's an accurate item about them. If there isn't, please write one and email it to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
