You can join... universities and left review club
ULR is a young movement of ideas and people, seeking to renew and rediscover the sources of their socialist conviction. The Club has become a centre of the ' New Left', asking some of the big questions about contemporary capitalism and a capitalist society. We try to have challenging speakers, and to ask them awkward questions. The purpose of the Club is to push and probe " beyond welfare capitalism ".
Weekly meetings are now attended by over 300 people. During the past few months, the ULR Club, in addition to its large meetings and smaller discussion groups, initiated—
•Jt May 29th : Crisis In France—Emergency Meeting : Isaac Deutscher, Norman MacKenzie, Basil Davidson, Doris Lessing, Ralph Milliband, Abu.
•fc July 14th: 'Cry Europe'. A meeting of solidarity with European democracy. Claude Bourdet, Paul Ignotus, Hans Werner Richter, Theodor Pirker, Barbara Castle, Paul Johnson, Mervyn Jones, John Gale, Ralph Samuel, Edward Thompson.
•fc September 26th -29th: Scarborough Labour Party Conference Exhibition :' The Mass Persuaders '.
In addition, the Club now has a centre at 7 Carlisle Street, a library and reading room, and downstairs is the Partisan Coffee House, which has recently opened.
The large Monday meetings are now being held at the Marquee, next door to the Academy Cinema, Oxford Street. Discussion groups meet at the Left Book Centre, 7 Carlisle Street, Soho, W.I. Meetings are advertised every week in the New Statesman and Tribune.
