Bristol Radical History Group have been released information about their Spring collection. There are two events in April:

• Fri. 3rd April – Nowtopia . Chris Carlsson acclaimed author, activist and founder of the Critical Mass bicycling movement in San Francisco explains how, as capitalism continues its inexorable process of global enclosure, new practices are emerging that are redefining politics. People are taking back their time and technological know-how from the market in small under-the-radar ways, and in doing so are establishing the foundation for a genuine movement of liberation from the market.
• Mon. 20th April – Hillsborough: What Really Happened? This April is the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough football disaster which killed 96 Liverpool fans and injured hundreds more. Twenty years on, few people know what actually happened and the (now admitted) lies told by the Police to the press at the time remain many people’s memory of events. With Sheila Coleman of the Hillsborough Just Campaign, David Goldblatt author of the best book about football ever written (The Ball Is Round) and Daniel Bennett eye-witness and barrister.
