Baking for freshers week! Doesn't matter if you havent cafeprojectbaked before. Meet at the cafe, then we'll head over to the awesome Wesley Church kitchen. Bring a recipe (not too complicated!) if you have one in mind, and any special ingredients. The cafe has the basics, or we can nip down to Sainsburys.

Opening early for Freshers Week!

Remember to fill in the normal time slots before the 5:30-7:30 shift to make sure we have enough volunteers to ensure regular opening times.

The Cambridge University Freshers' Fair is the best opportunity of the year for the Cafe Project to advertise its existance to the student population, and to recruit a whole load of volunteers!  We need a couple of volunteers at a time to stand behind our stall at the freshers fair in kelsey kerridge sports centre for the two days of the fair, giving out Cafe Project flyers and termcards, and collecting email addresses of freshers who sign down to our mailing list.  It would be good if plenty of us signed up to do this - so no-one has to spend hours and hours at the stall.  The slots have been put down as 'waiter' jobs, but really it's publicising at the fair.

---The Fair goes on for 2 days - Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th of October - there are volunteer slots for both.---

Cambridge No to ID campaign (www.no2id.net) will be showing the film 'taking liberties' in the Cafe from 8pm. The cafe will be open from 7.30, to give people a chance to buy their film snacks and tea...

"TAKING LIBERTIES is a shocking but hilarious polemic documentary that charts the destruction of all your Basic Liberties under 10 Years of New Labour. Released to coincide with Tony Blair's departure, the film and the book follow the stories of normal people who's lives have been turned upside down by injustice - from being arrested for holding a placard outside parliament to being tortured in Guantanamo Bay." - http://www.noliberties.com/

As the people showing the film will be there, we only need one volunteer to serve drinks. And watch the film! So sign up...

As autumn blows into cambridge, come sink into an armchair and help us to welcome in our very own monthly Poetry Cafe.

Now as you shelter from the rain, cradling your cup of hot chocolate you can meet local poets, share your work, discuss your ideas, or just sit back and listen.

Welfare Wednesdays @ the Cafe Project

This year, CUSU Welfare wants to start tackling some of the taboo subjects that Welfare Campaigns deal with: ‘Why are we living through a sexual health epidemic in this country?’, ‘How can we promote positive body image and tackle eating disorders?’, ‘How does student depression affect studies?’.  To truly tackle these issues we need to start understanding them from the grass roots.  Every week, CUSU Welfare will be posing controversial questions to do with a range of issues and invite you to come and discuss them with us.  The cafe project is hosting it: helping us bring together students and the local community and get to grips with welfare issues affecting our society today.  For more information email welfare@cusu.cam.ac.uk or come along, Wednesdays from 5-6.30 during term time (15^th October to 3^rd December).

Join us for an evening of discussion, learning and meeting people run by the Cambridge Hub, a network of  community, campaigning and charitable student organisations. Each Wednesday in termtime, a different member society will run a short timetabled event - a talk, a workshop, a film - from 8 to 9pm - followed by informal cafe sociableness until closing time.  Come along to find out more about what Hub societies are doing in Cambridge, get to know people who are concerned about social justice and global issues, and make the links between societies which can be stronger by working together.

Come along to find out more about the cafe project and to get involved in the decision making process!

CUID open debates are informal discussion groups which meet every other Thursday at the Cafe Project on Jesus Lane to talk about development issues. They are quite small scale and participants are encouraged to share their views with the rest of the group. A small amount of prior knowledge is usually required, but this first session is an introduction.

In this first session our open debate leader, Joe Studwell, will talk about what he thinks are the most important contributing factors in developmental success and why his expertise in Asia has led him to this conclusion. This first discussion sets the scene for the series and invites those attending to challenge Joe's 'big picture', suggest alternatives and pose questions to be addressed during the series.

From 10am to 11pm every Friday the cafe will be run to raise money for the Lesbian Association of India.

Each week the cafe will be transformed, this week we will take you to Mexico with flamenco, vibrant music and spicy Chilli for lunch or dinner.

FOUND magazine is a American-based collection of FOUND items that have been sent
in by readers around the world; love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Anything goes...

After 7 years of sharing magical finds in hundreds of North American cities,
FOUND Magazine's Davy and Peter Rothbart take their rowdy, exhilarating
reading-and-music extravaganza across Europe for the first time ever!! Davy
delivers hilarious and heartbreaking FOUND notes and letters; Peter performs
dazzling songs based on finds sent in by readers. The L.A. Times calls Davy and
Peter Rothbart "utterly engaging performers," and the Boston Globe calls the
show "a powerful fix for thinking voyeurs."

Calling all nations with Davy and Peter: the death-defying 19-year-old
sword-swallowing prodigy Brett Loudermilk, and legendary Los Angeles
underground D.J. Andrew Cohn.  Bring your friends and your own favorite finds to
share! 

www.foundmagazine.com

The Cafe will be open from 7.30 but the show will start at 8, and we might be open afterwards as well depending on when it finishes....

This event is free and open to attend (as are all evening Cafe events) but obviously the tour is costing FOUND lots of money so please buy lots of magazines / donate what you can if you enjoy the show.

Ever wondered how vegans can do without bacon, sausages or even eggs for a special breakfast? Here is your chance to find out what delicious animal-free brunch treats are possible... Join us once a month for yummy food, recipie sharing, and a relaxing Sunday morning.

Women's Union workshops launch this sunday with seminars, skill-sharing and projects for feminists across the university.

Yet another chance to learn how to volunteer in the cafe of wonder and excitement!

The Shop  - http://www.theshopjesuslane.co.uk/ - a few doors down from us at no. 18 are running 'Make Do and Mend' from 12 noon till 4 pm - "This event will showcase subversive glamour: guests are invited to bring unwanted clothing that they can swap for something new and more covetable. The ‘Stitch Up’ girls will attend the event to help customise and decorate the clothing. In addition, fashion and accessories designed by local makers will be on sale. Entrance 50p."

And hopefully (providing we find volunteers at this short notice - my bad for leaving it so late) we'll be open for that time and a bit later (or whenever we can mange) to provide refreshments and a place to chat for participants, plus anyone else who comes in.

Should be good :-).

We're baking for the cafe at the Wesley church kitchens. Meet at the cafe at 5.30, bring a recipe and any special ingredients you need for it. We'll get what we're lacking from Sainsbury's, go on to bake and come back with fresh cake to sell to the Amnesty letter-writers! Ring me up on 07942044472 if you're going to be late.

They are quite small scale and participants are encouraged to share their views with the rest of the group. A small amount of prior knowledge is usually required, but only a small amount!

In this session Joe will talk somewhat generally about 'initial conditions' in a society, but mainly will stick to two topics - land reform and sociological legacies. Land reform is very relevant due to the critical role it played in Asian success stories. Joe will also touch upon land reform in Latin America and Africa. Sociological legacies will include colonialism, communism and historical cultural factors. Joe will mention why he thinks that 'dependencies' are real but can be overcome.

From 10am to 11pm every Friday the cafe will be run to raise money for the Lesbian Association of India.
