The Cambridge University freshers fair is our main opportunity to recruit new student volunteers! So a strong, enthusiastic cafe project presence is vital. Many students arriving in Cambridge find freshers' week difficult, stressful and scary, so letting them know that the Cafe will be providing them with an alternative, supportive, non-alcoholic space during freshers' week is also really important. So please sign up with enthusiasm!!
Freshers Fair is held at Kelsey Kerridge Sports Centre, Queen Anne Terrace, CB1 1NA.

Cafe Open to all as usual, plus:
MEETING 7.30pm
New legislation is currently being discussed in the house of lords that
will criminalise sex workers clients, meaning the end of the brothel and
safe working conditions for workers in the sex industry in the uk. In
Sweden, where similar legislation is already in place, it has aggravated
trafficking because the victims of trafficking have been deported before
they have had time to give statements, and clients have been unwilling to
testify in court because it would be tantamount to confessing a crime.
The international union of sex workers oppose the legislation. In Sweden, even
carrying a condom has meant people have been arrested for loitering with
intent to purchase sex. We have to fight to defend sex workers' rights,
and oppose moralising laws.

C4 is open to anyone who enjoys drawing - from manga to children's comics to graphic novels to one-panel cartoons - and would like to just come and sit down with us to have coffee and draw and talk... There are people from loads of different backgrounds and with very different drawing styles. One person in the group is a freelance comic artist, but beginners are more than welcome! Generally every Saturday session is very flexible, people can drop in at any time and although we often have group projects and activities, there's no compulsion to take part in them. At the end of last year we also had a 24-hour comic event: 5 of us stayed up 24 hours to draw a whole 24-page comic. We'll certainly be doing that again this year.
