Some news..

As a result of the planning meeting we had last month, the last two FNB servings have been on the corner of King St and Forbes St, Newtown (Near the Nunnery, Pizza Haven, etc.). We plan to continue serving there every second Saturday at around 3pm or 4pm.

One of the FNBers has set up an online forum for people to use to get involved with Food Not Bombs, as a remedy for full inboxes and to make discussion easier. The URL for the forum is http://sydfnb.tk

We also had a second serving this weekend at Jura Books at the Jura/Black Rose Fundraiser show and we were able to raise some money for the two bookstores.

Our next serving will be at the corner of King and Forbes (Newtown) on Saturday 23 Feb. So come down and eat and talk but if you aren't hungry then you can always try our new take away option!
