Anyone want to add stuff to the list? Bob.

The Electron club is a space at the CCA that is home to a whole variety 
of people and ideas. Started as a computer/electronics/artist Open 
Source software lab it soon expanded into many areas of cultural 
diversity and many have little to do with computers. You are just as 
likely to bump into a Wobblie as you are a computer hacker. If you are 
an artist, techie, nerd, or your bag is community activism or you are 
just interested in life, come and take a look. We are open to the 
public. Anyone can join. Its free.

Who will be there:

OPEN STREET MAP DEMO
There numerous mappers in and around Glasgow with a wealth of knowledge 
and from a variety backgrounds and ages. Come and ind out what mapping 
is about and start mapping the world.

GLASGOW SCIENCE FAIR
Is about getting folk young and old interested in science. Come and play 
with their robot, Knex, Arduino and other science tech stuff.

SPIRIT OF REVOLT
The Spirit of Revolt is a group based in Glasgow who are attempting to 
collect as much material as possible from grass-roots campaigns in 
working class struggle, in and around the Glasgow/Clydeside area. An 
archival collection of working class history. Find out about this very 
important project for the city. We will be screening a film made at the 
SOR exhibition at the Mitchell library

COMMON GOOD AWARENESS PROJECT
CGAP was set up to create awareness of Scotland's Common Good Fund, a 
whole bunch of assets, art galleries, schools, town halls, parks, that 
are publicly owned. Many of these assets have disappeared, have been 
lost or stolen over the years due to a lack of awareness that they even 
exist and maladministration by those whose duty is to protect the fund 
for the benefit of the public. Find out more and about the common good 
and the Farmhouse Trust, a Common Good project in Govan to create a 
independent resource centre whilst experiment with off grid technology 
eco building and gardening  along the way.

GLASGOW TO DETROIT
A second chance to see a shorter version of Glasgow to Detroit if you 
missed the Kinningpark screening. Here we will be discussing specific 
ideas from Detroit activists mentioned in the film to examine the 
situation in Glasgow/Scotland around growing.
