NAME OUR BAR COMPETITION!!
We've got a new bar this year, it'll be up on the
plateau in front of the atmospheric neoclassical
ruins of Piercefield House, just opposite
Soundscape Solar Stage. It'll be selling local
ales and ciders, organic wines, rum 'n' ginger -
it'll be a fine place to hang out listening to
bands - but we haven't got a name for it. What
shall we call our new bar? (See pics above & below for it's location.)
Email your ideas to news at greengathering.org.uk by
June 30th and we'll choose a name from your
suggestions. The person who suggests the winning
name will earn themselves a couple of lovely free
drinks at the bar bearing their name. (Ahem, no,
it's NOT going to be called 'Barry Mc-Barface'
like that ship nearly was when 'the public' were
called on to do some naming a wee while ago!)
SPEAKERS' FORUM LINE UP - announcements #2:

See you in the fields...

The Green Gathering is a festival and an
education, an interactive showcase of renewable
energy and off grid solutions... all powered by wind, sun and people.
There's live music, acoustic sessions, poetry
slams, comedy, dance, storytelling, interactive
art, kids and teens activities, ancient wisdom
and crafts, permaculture, traditional healing,
campaign stalls, and 100s of practical
skillshares geared to sustainable futures.
The Green Gathering has a history entwined with
the Green and Peace movements, Glastonbury
Festival, Stonehenge and Climate Camp. The
original solar-powered festival has been through
ups and downs, grown big, been busted, and gone
back to its roots...
