Climate Camp − Open invite to a UK-wide decision making meeting − Glasgow 5th and 6th April
The next Climate Camp gathering is heading north to Scotland on April 5-6. The meeting/sleeping/socialising will all take place at Carnival Arts Centre, 34 Albion Street Glasgow. This is in Merchant City and about a ten minute walk from Buchanan Street bus station/Queen Street train station. See map
Proposed agenda items should be in by Monday March 24th. For guidelines on gathering agenda items see the following page on the website
The venue and sleeping space are both accessible. Accommodation will be crash pad and available from Friday night. Should you really need a bed for some reason be sure to get in touch. If you do not let us know in advance, we cannot guarantee we’ll be able to find you an alternative.
The organising team is working hard to make the gathering as kid friendly as possible. There will be an early to bed sleeping space at another venue, and a kids space throughout the weekend. If you are planning to bring kids, please get in touch so we can better plan activities.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided Saturday and Sunday. Everything will be vegan and mostly organic. Get in touch if you have allergy concerns.
We will be asking for a suggested donation (unless you really can’t afford it) of £5 to cover the venue and £10 to cover food. There will also be a travel pool. The idea is that people with more money or lower travel costs contribute towards the costs of people with less money or higher travel costs. Please contribute if you can afford it.
There will be a film night and introduction to Climate Camp on Friday evening. Also, exciting things are brewing for Monday. If you can stick around an extra day, bring your bike and join in on a critical mass to a site of some importance… Alternative transportation will be available for those who can’t or don’t want to bike.
It would be extremely useful if anyone planning on attending all or part of the weekend could let us know. This will help in buying food, booze and lots of other things too. RSVPs and all other queries/info should be directed to gathering (at) climatecamp.org.uk That is ‘gathering’ NOT ‘gatherings’ (the old email address has been nuked).
The Climate Camp on its own didn’t stop climate change – but it’s part of a growing social movement that can! Come and take the next steps forward at the upcoming UK-wide meeting on April 5th to 6th in Glasgow. Everyone is welcome, whether you came to the camp, or were simply inspired by it. The Climate Camp’s at Drax and Heathrow had 4 key aims: popular education, direct action, sustainable living, and building a social movement to collectively tackle climate change. Regional meetings have been happening up and down the country, and the last national meeting was in Nottingham .We will meet in Glasgow to collectively share all our ideas for taking our aims into 2008.
