For those interested in such things, I've written up my talk:

Peter Kropotkin Science and Syndicalism

The talk went well -- packed room, they had to bring in more chairs. And it was well received -- and all the jokes worked (not in the write-up, sorry to say, as all pretty much spontaneous and slide-specific).

Yes, I counted 45 people there. Great talk backed up by very good powerpoint. A couple of daft Corbynite questions like "What would Kropotkin think of Corbyn" which Iain handled well. Does this mean there's a growing interest in anarchism? We shall see.
