The Earth First! Summer Gathering is the place where people involved in radical ecological direct action - or those who want to be involved - get together for five days of time and space to talk, walk, share skills, learn, play, rant, find out what's going on, find out what's next, live outside, strategise, hang out, incite, laugh and conspire.
The gathering is also a practical example of non-hierarchical low-impact living in action.
We are a diverse community with a wide range of approaches to our action, so there should be plenty to interest and inspire everyone whether you have been active for years or are completely new to it all.

While NGG would be much happier if the BNP weren't using the same site, and all disappeared in a puff of smoke, along with their poison, it is important to consider that NGG will be delivering an alternative into the area, providing the voice of reason, and demonstrating that respect for each other and the environment is the only way to sustainability, the only viable future.

Slating NGG will make no difference here

It has been suggested to me that if NGG and the other events held there all withdrew, on this basis, then maybe he could be persuaded to stop hosting the BNP gathering. I think this is garbage. I suspect he'll just get some other events to come along - biker rallies, knitting festivals...anti fascist gatherings...and won't care what they are either, and be all the happier with the BNP gathering organisers for staying and not causing him any trouble.
Believe it or not, it is possible for people to not have any political views.
If you have a problem with the BNP gathering, go complain at them, not at NGG. Hold a demonstration outside, throw eggs at them, cause trouble for them. Then when they've all gone home stay for NGG and you will be most welcome.
