Rural Convergance Update

update | 17.06.2005 13:30

The rural convergence space will be a large self-managed outdoor space near Gleneagles: a space for all who aspire to radical decentralized alternatives to capital, power and ecological collapse. A place to meet, chat, eat, sleep, organise, and more.

Over the past 6 months, people from the Dissent! network have been hard to secure this space and now that it is available we have had to set some small charges to cover the costs: The rental cost for a tent space will be £75 per tent per night

Families and those with other legal concerns will be prioritised space to stay on the legal sites. Other people may want to form autonomous camping sites in the beautiful Scottish countryside around Gleneagles.
The neighborhoods will be information and discussion areas to aid communication across the site and beyond. Inter-neighborhood meetings will manage the whole site.

Lots of stuff is needed for the site, see

http://www.dissent.org.uk/content/view/195/125/ for the full list.

Please provide what you can. Transport is available to get larger objects to the site, although if you can find a way of getting it here yourself, then all the better.

The site will be open to all from the 1st June. Bring a tent and your dreams of another world!

£75 a night? Can't be right. Is there a govt troll in tha house?

I think there's a problem somewhat

It seems the small charge indicated here is sort of wrong: £75 is hardly a realistic rent fee for one night in a tent, isn't it ?

djrom

That is right

I know £75 seems a lot but it has cost the organisers a lot in insurance etc and we must make up the costs of the money lost on the train organisation.

I hope everyone will understand.

As a number of people have already pointed out, the rural convergence will not cost £75 pounds per tent; indeed, staying there will be free or by donation. This posts looks like intentional misinformation; anyway, it's been hidden, in line with the guidline that says we hide misleading and inaccurate posts.
