Its all been kicking off again up there of late with local people against
the gas project getting beaten up in the middle of the night by masked
shell oil thugs and local people pulling down the fences of the refinery
site and occuping land so shell can't build on it...

The Gathering... Come and Spread the word!...

Last year resistance in Mayo was incredible. Shell's Solitaire pipe laying
ship was forced to leave Irish waters with no pipeline laid! This year
resistance continues, and the ship will be forced to leave once again.

Come to this year's Rossport Solidarity Camp Gathering to find out more
about the campaign, share skills and make plans for another summer of
Action.

Gathering Workshops and Events will include:

History of the Shell to Sea Campaign.
Tours of the local area.
Drawing links with the Wiwa -v- Shell trial in New York.
Direct Action training for land and water based action.
Knowing your fundamental and legal rights
Facilitation training & Consensus Decision Making.
Health, Safety and Environmental impacts of the Shell Corrib gas project.
Corrib and climate change: Shell to Sea or Shell to hell?
Permaculture.
Music and Craic.

Call Out for Help!
If you know any bands/musicians, want to play music, know people who would
like to run skill share workshops, want to help with the kitchen crew,
help with children's events or a creche, volunteer during the gathering,
or help with publicity then please do get in touch.

The Gathering will take place at the Rossport Solidarity Camp on the coast
at Glengad.
