[matilda] Climate Camp in Bath

[julie w]

Hi
This is to let you know of a Climate Camp being set up in near Bath. The 
Camp will be active from late afternoon on Thursady the 19th of april and 
will run until sunday the 22nd. Amongst other activities, there will be 2 
big actions -
*Shut down Land and Marine - Friday 20th April - all day - Land and Marine 
are responsible for building a 125 mile long gas pipeline through Wales, 
destroying numerous green spaces and wildlife habitats including the Brecon 
Beacons, and we have their head offices here in Bath. Resistance to the 
pipeline has been strong in Wales, so this is a great opportunity to show 
our opposition, and make sure that Land and Marine know how we feel! The 
protest is open to all individuals and autonomous groups, whether you want 
to blockade, leaflet, make music, perform street theatre or a bit of each! 
Find out more about Land and Marine at 
www.risingtide.org.uk/bristol/pipeline
*Party against petrol - Saturday 20th of April - meet at 11 at Bath Climate 
Camp or 12 at bath Abbey. A colourful carnival/protest against fossil fuels 
and car culture. the party will include music, street theatre and a kids 
bloc. The party will take creative action against some of the worst 
polluters of the planet!

The camp will be 100% eco-friendly and will have something for everyone. 
Activities will include - *An ethical kitchen serving breakfast and dinner 
for low donations *Evening entertainment featuring local acts and a chilled 
out soundsystem *Workshops and DIY sessions including - making stuff from 
'junk', eating and the environment, green housing and more. *A kids zone, 
ran by experienced childcarers featuring activities such as poi dancing 
lessons (a tribal dance native to New Zealand), including a workshop where 
the children are taught how to make their own poi, face-painting and games.
      Attending the camp does not necessarily mean attending the protests 
(although the more the merrier!). If you just want to come along and enjoy 
the atmosphere, learn about eco-living, talk to other activists or take part 
in the workshops, you are more than welcome. this is also not a local event, 
so just 'cos you're not from Bath, it doesn't mean you shouldn't come! You 
can find the camp if you follow Lower Bristol Road until it meets the A4 
towards Bristol, and we should be pretty visible! For any questions, or if 
you would like any info, or to help us publicise the camp, please e-mail 
bathclimatecamp at yahoo.co.uk

posters/flyers will be e-mailed out in pdf as soon as we have them. If you 
want paper copies, say how many, and e-mail an address and we'll send them 
out to you a.s.a.p.

Cheers
Jon & Bath Climate Camp
