For the second year running, London Socialist Party held a successful BBQ social raising over £150 for the fighting fund partly through the ‘Great Socialist Bake-off’ organised by Amalia Loizidou. The 12 entries were all delicious but Michael Wrack’s Bakewell Tart (with homemade jam!) took the top spot. 25 people took part in a five-a-side football tournament, with some playing football for the first time. The Football Feminists and East Thames Trots lost in the semi-finals, leaving the South London Reds to scrape a victory against Dynamo Walthamtov by two goals to one. The rain held off and it was a great way to end a busy summer of campaigning in London.
