On Sunday 24th May, 3pm, in ACE there will be a screening of ‘Rocking the Foundations’ a really inspiring film about a militant Australian union, The Builders Labourers Federation of New South Wales.

The film screening will take place on Sunday 24th May at 15.00 in ACE.

Hosted by the Industrial Workers of the World, Edinburgh Branch

What’s happening in Edinburgh? The ACE Quiz!

January 22nd, 2009

Friday 30 JAN 2009, doors open 6pm @ ACE, 17 W. Montgomery Place, Edinburgh

Question 1
Do you like a drink?

Question 2
Do you like curry?

Question 3
Do you think you’re clever?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above questions then read on…

Leith’ s reluctant new entertainment hub, the Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh, 17 west Montgomery place, is hosting a quiz night to raise money.

There will be:

  • Delicious organic coconut and vegetable rice with (vegan) ‘butter’ dahl and pasta salad for eats
  • An endless amount of organic ales and wines available via a raffle at discount prices (hey we are a food coop after all)
  • A dazzling array / intriguing mix of anarchist history, general knowledge, absurd idiosyncratic “Whae the fuck would ken that!??” questions and easy ones.

Added to this an exciting music round, a film round and an ‘activist’ / protester ‘What happened next?’ round all brought to you via our luxurious high res digital projection suite with surround sound!

Deal capitalism and patriarchy a blow the easy way – from your favourite armchair in ACE, with a pint in your hand, stuffing your face with curry cooked by someone else, showing off how clever you are.
