The Eco Warrior and the Week-Long Hangover

Continuing the 'activism' theme, my submissions to Venue #739 included an interview with Mark Plummer, a local environmentalist who first became known for his protests surrounding the expansion of Bristol Airport in 1999. I interviewed him as he was busy preparing to lead a regional delegation of the Stop Climate Chaos campaign group to London for the major demonstration on November 4.







However, this issue my biggest contribution was for a main feature, designed to introduce new students to the various pub crawls that can be found around town. Between us, the assistant editor (Joe Spurgeon) and I devised the routes, experienced them first hand and reviewed them, with emphasis being put on the characters we met along the way. I was responsible for three, covering my neighbourhood (Clifton Village), the City Centre and north of the city along the Gloucester Road. I think Chris Dickason's illustrations are great.
