GUESS WHO'S BACK?! FABRIC! People became more gener- ous in 2016 The world is making the move to renewable energy More at guestlist.net World hunger reached its low- est point in 25 years Sometimes it can feel like we are living in a world that's about to fall apart and 2016 has seemed to be a particularly hairy year. So it's great to see that global spending on aid and development increased by 7% this year and spending on refugees doubled. Amazing sta- tistics. Charitable spending in China rose by an amazing 1000%! The spread of globalisation and technology has developed poorer parts of the world at an ever increasing rate. To some in the West this has been seen as a challenge as countries tra- ditionally seen as 'the enemy' have threatened Western dominance. However, this development has given these people the technology to communicate and develop their societies. In fact 2016 was the first time ever, that the amount of money needed to end poverty fell below the amount spent on foreign aid. A number of large nations including China, India and the USA increased their use of solar panels to create electricity. In fact solar pro- duced more energy than coal for the UK this year (I'm surprised we had enough sun), with the UK announcing it would phase out the use of coal as an energy source by 2025. The Charterhouse Street venue has reached an agreement with Islington council to keep operating. Printworks is a 5000-capactiy space in Canada Water, opening January 2017. It'll be a vast, multi-purpose space taking residence in an old newspaper printing factory. Conveniently located just 5 minutes away from Canada Water's tube station; Printworks boasts six event spaces across multiple levels and will be more than just a club, but an "experimental, multi-purpose cultural destination". Opening it's doors in January, LWE & Broadwick Live are taking the reigns of the music programming. The 16-acre factory will host live gigs and all day parties - much like the ones at Tobacco Docks. Extending it out, Printworks also aims to hold other events including ballet, theatre, and food festivals. Much of the original layout, even the original machines are still inside giving the space a uniquely industrial feel. For now they're working on a sound system to suit the layout, kitting it out with LWE's L'Acoustic K2 & SB28 Loudspeakers and an automated lighting truss system. The first set of events will be announced this Friday, and is rumoured to be starting with a 10-week series starting in January.

The new conditions include: no under 19s being admitted to the club; ID scanning; tougher searchers on the door; covert surveillance; improved lighting; increased CCTV; and lifetime bans for anyone caught dealing, buying or in procession of drugs. Islington council accepted Fabric's 32 new conditions set out in their 155-page document that lays out how they can achieve a 'gold-standard', with the final decision being made by Judge Robin McPhee. Islington council and Fabric Life said these new standards will "ensure a Zero Tolerance approach to drug possession, consumption and sale within the club". Fabric's license was revoked in the summer after two 18-year-olds died after taking ecstasy in the club. A covert police investigation also surfaced - 'operation Lenor' - suggesting there was a 'culture of drugs' where people were openly buying and taking drugs inside. Following the closure a huge hand of support offered itself to Fabric and it's #saveourculture campaign. A petition to over turn the decision amassed over 160,000 signatures, 7,000 had donated cash amounted to £328,509 and #saveourculture events took place in London, Manchester, Oslo, Liverpool, Brighton, Leeds and abroad. Fabric's reopening is no doubt a huge win for London's nightlife, but lets not got far sighted - we may have won the battle but not the war.
