My grandmother and mother were both from England. My grandmother told me about a meeting she had with Philip in a park one night, handing off a newspaper (?) to her before he was arrested. <br />I will read this to her and see if she has any more input.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284629282194379004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-38816344909378805792014-01-05T21:02:42.890+00:002014-01-05T21:02:42.890+00:00My article on the Malatesta Club should be up on l...My article on the Malatesta Club should be up on libcom tomorrow (6/01/14) with photos of the Club and its membersNick Heathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-27942476220369976602013-07-03T16:25:31.630+01:002013-07-03T16:25:31.630+01:00A history of the Malatesta Club complete with phot...A history of the Malatesta Club complete with photos will soon be appearing on www.libcom.orgNick heathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-63709915207382941282012-11-15T15:36:11.110+00:002012-11-15T15:36:11.110+00:00Rita Milton is on Wikipedia; Maybe there are some...Rita Milton is on Wikipedia; Maybe there are some photos that could be posted....couldn't find the Obit in FREEDOM Feb 2012 archive, but found the 2 newspaper obits (Independent, etc).

Both Frank and Rita spoke regularly for anarchism at Hyde Park. Rita who died recently on December 17th 2011 met her future partner, the Hew warburg at the club . There was a civilised and amicable split from her current partner Philip Sansom as a result. The Malatesta Club enamel coffee pot ended up being passed on by Alan Albon, another anarchist and Club member, to the Australian anarchist Ted Kavanagh, who had run the Wooden Shoe bookshop in London. I regularly saw it on visits to Ted's flat in Brighton, where he used it to water his house plants!<br />Nick HeathNick Heathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-80036347187126210552012-02-07T11:31:37.198+00:002012-02-07T11:31:37.198+00:00Among other founders of the Club were Max Patrick ...Among other founders of the Club were Max Patrick and Frank Hirschfield ( Frank was a speaker in Hyde Park and a wrestler among other things) and Rita Milton, who also spoke for anarchism in Hyde Park. She died recently on 17th December 2011 and her obituary is in the latest issue of Freedom. Her obit by Donald rouum mentions that "it was there that she met Hew Warburg," which led on to her eventual and amicable break-up with her then current partner Ohilip Sansom. The old enamel coffee pot passed on via another anarchist Alan Albon to the Australian anarchist Ted Kavanagh ( who had run Wooden Shoe Bookshop in London and was then in Brighton). It was there I saw it regularly, being used by Ted to water his houseplants.<br />The Club was originally in Holborn, and then it moved to Percy Street, by Tottenham Court Road<br />Nick HeathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-76365562432198360592012-01-10T12:09:44.869+00:002012-01-10T12:09:44.869+00:00Hi man, hope you're well.
