What’s going on in 2009?
By Jess McCabe | 20 January 2009, 18:34
Our events listings are looking a little sparse for 2009.
Help us out by telling us what’s happening near you - it can be tough keeping track of what’s going on up and down the UK!
To give you a guide, we’re looking for one-off events, rather than regular meetings. You can still see our 2008 events listings, so that should also help see what we’re after.
Feel free to leave us a comment, or you can email me if you so prefer.

Have your say
In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.
- This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
- All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
- No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
- Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
- No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
- Be nice.
