Some evening! In the order they appeared, here's a gallery of contributors to our soft-launch "friendly" for The Alternative UK at King's Cross Impact Hub, on March 1st, 2017.

When available, we've made information links available when you click the picture  - so you can "join the good dots" yourselves. (This is best on a laptop/PC browser at the moment). 

Were you there? Let us know what you thought of the event. 

Unless otherwise indicated, huge thanks to Jamie Bristow for being our volunteer event photographer.  There's more content from this first public event of The Alternative UK to come over the next few days.

Would you like to get involved in helping us put on the new few "friendlies" or "political laboratories"?  If so, please contact us here. And all contributions welcome too.
