 Dear all 
 

 New Putney Debates celebrates the 799th anniversary of the Charter of the Forest on 5th & 6th November with a weekend of events looking at how social protest won the commons and ongoing struggle for land rights and democracy - from Robin Hood to recent protest to keep our housing and protect nature.
 

 We are the team that helped put on last years Festival of Democracy at Runnymede, and then fight the court evictions case. 
 
 
 
 
 Starting with a trip to Hackney Marshes at 2pm on 5 November, a timeline exhibition of social protest   at 5pm , followed at 7:30 a boat party with folk & protest songs ,  all on Fordham Gallery barge.  Sunday has a walk plotting the steps in the evolution if the Charter of the Forest, through the streets and parks of London , starting at 1pm, Lambeth Palace.
