Soc Club Weekend

Soc Club Weekend

The VUC Socialist Club is holding another of its weekend schools on September 9 and 10—this Saturday and Sunday. Three have already been held very successfully, and this one should be quite as good.

The theme Will be "Socialism Today": the speakers include J. P. Lewin, F. L. Combs, K. Stanton. James Bertram, Rona Bailey, Jock Matthews, R. Adams, Jim Winchester and Dave Cohen, A special symposium on "Socialism and Religion" will be led by Ormond Burton, Rev. Gardiner Scott, and Pete Johansen. Other subjects include the theory and practice of socialism, socialism in the colonial countries, socialism and the trade unions, and students and the socialist movement.

Starting with a lecture at 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, it will finish with one on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. By arrangement with Tilly Piper, Soc. Club Secretary, visitors may sleep and/or eat on the premises. But you had better stake your claim early if you are coming.

The roll, it is hoped, won't be restricted to members of the club: Opposition members are requested not to bring firearms or explosives.

And the address? "Houndsditch"—upstairs at 5 Halswell Street (which is almost opposite the brewery in Murphy Street).

Here is a chance for you to thrash out those arguments.
