<div>Hi all! </div>
<div>I was in Slovakia with Doc. Gernot Minke. We did 1 loadbearing dome and 8 vaults in two weeks!</div>
<div>It was great!</div>

with the list;<br><br>Doc. Gernot Minke is busy teaching a second workshop arranged by<br>Zuzana's organisation in Slovakia; 'Artur', where they are making...no,<br>not 1 loadbearing vault, but 4 vaults joined by a dome (and Minke style;<br>
covered by grass!). Enjoy it all here:<br><a href="http://minke-strawbaledome.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://minke-strawbaledome.blogspot.com/</a><br><br>...I thought that was mighty impressive (and it is!), however once again<br>
Arch. Werner Schmidt impressed me. Enjoy a brief film of his latest<br>wonder, no doubt built as exact as a Swiss clock work:<br><a href="http://www.videoportal.sf.tv/video?id=a0579db9-5e8f-4d34-8af1-fe5d58254b7a" target="_blank">http://www.videoportal.sf.tv/video?id=a0579db9-5e8f-4d34-8af1-fe5d58254b7a</a><br>
<br>...And as for ESBG11; We're still too busy catching up after our lovely<br>3rd 'National Celebration of Natural Building' which we hosted about a<br>week ago to facilitate more information sharing about the ESBG plans.<br>
<br>Suffice to say now that some folks are trying to arrange a national<br>'Open Door' day in Czech straw bale houses on 21/08 (2011), (which would<br>serve the ESBG participants too), that the ESBG will start during<br>
afternoon of Monday 22/08 after a free day to enjoy the surroundings,<br>and that we'd love to stretch the program with Saturday 27/08 as a final<br>day with activities for general public (with a large 'Eco-Fair' inspired<br>
by pre-ESBG09), in order to serve the many Czech/Slovaks who'll enjoy<br>meeting the ESBG participants, but whom we can't fit in during the week.<br>...We're also trying to arrange to build a big bale house as a workshop<br>
the week before (+a little during) the ESBG, however due to permits we<br>can't promise anything yet.<br><br>Asides from that then all further international information from our<br>group will be handled/administrated by 'Fano', who'll write soon to this<br>
list and to the national (European) contacts.<br>We would still love to hear from a person from each North/South/East and<br>West of Europe, who would like to take on the task of renting a bus and<br>drive it with participant to the ESBG11 and back? +The program team<br>
would love to know which topics you'll like to present, and if any of<br>your national organizations would like to manage one (or half) day program?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Max Vittrup Jensen,<br>PermaLot Centre of Natural Building<br>
<br>PS: Those of you enjoying the food photos from the Slovak blog: It's<br>made by Franta Zacek and Co., and Franta will be the lead cook for the<br>ESBG (As he were for the two Natural Building Colloquia's we arranged).<br>
In addition we plan to grow most of the organic food ourselves:<br>Something to look forward to ;o)<br>____________________________________________________<br> European strawbale building discussion list<br><br>Send all messages to:<br>
