Hi
When considering 'How we make decisions at the Camp ' It's probably
worth looking at http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/node/15 and it's child
http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/?q=node/25
'What to bring and what to leave at home ' is largely covered by
http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/node/19 and
http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/node/18
For 'What happens at the camp?' http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/node/68
is worth looking at.
When the webgroup have a meeting on July 5th these pages or pages based
on them will be made more accessible by refining the menu.
In peace Neil
