<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've put together some text for the website - a compilation of different pieces of text which were submitted to Amelia a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to all who contributed. It covers: what happens at camp; consensus; neighbourhoods; what to bring/not to bring (including stuff about food, dogs, children). This was based on the bits of text I had - Amelia, I don't know if you have others which might cover other areas?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm submitting it to the list for people to point out any glaring omissions or misrepresentations. However I think at this stage the key thing is just to get the text up as soon as possible, so please bear that in mind. Perhaps we should give 48 hours for people to point out any massive problems, then Neil or Jonathan can get it up on the website?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Other sections which this doesn't cover, which we need to have text about, are: i) getting to the camp, ii) direct action (what it is, why we do it - briefly!). There is a section about the history of camp already on the website (under 'about') which I think is quite good.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, apologies that I've been quite slow on this.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All the best,</div>
<div>Liam</div>

It’s not just about protest; it’s about building our vision of the future, in the here and now. We make friends and exchange ideas in workshops, campfire discussions, everyday site maintenance, skills shares, dancing, meetings, film showings, toilet queues, kitchens, dawn gate duties, and all those indefinable moments in between. We have a serious message, but we also have a lot of fun along the way.</font></font></span></p>

This year is going to be a little bit different, because there won’t be a mass action at the end of the camp. Instead, our focus will be learning skills and making <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>plans for an ‘autumn of action’ in the run-up to the UN climate talks at Copenhagen this December. Come to the camp to meet like-minded people and plan the action that is right for you.
