Re: [strawbale] gathering 2002



Title: gathering 2002
Dear Herbert and other Europeans,
Just got back from the Spiral House in Ireland so have missed much of the discussion on new venue for the European Gathering. We were looking forward to going to Slowenia, but will be equally happy to go to Austria, since it sounds like this is the consensus. Any idea of dates? We are already getting booked up next year but early spring is possible. Autumn is too close to Australia..........
Thanks for the offers of venue
Best wishes,
Barbara and Bee

dear strawbalers in europe

couldnīt we do it the democratic way?
there was a gathering in France 1998 (founding of ESBN),
Denmark 1999,
England 2000,
and a non existing one in Slovenia in 2001.

on the other hand there are active strawbale-networks (and a lot of strawbale-houses to visit) in
france
denmark
germany
the netherlands
austria
norway
hungary
czech rep
england, ireland, wales
belarus (russia)
more?

next step: which of these countries/networks wants to make a gathering?
france (we heard it from andre)
the netherlands (we heard it from martin)
austria (we heard it from herbert & astrid)
some more?

last step: when we have all the networks, that want to make a gathering in the future, we are able to make an election: each member of ESBN = everyone on strawbale-l@eyfa... elects 3 countries (3,2,1 points) he/she is interested to visit in the next years. the country with the most points is invited to make a gathering next year, the second one in two years and then there should be a new election (for example).

this would guarantee a welldone planning and interesting gatherings for the future. option: two or more networks work together to make a gathering in one of the countries. but the "democratic" way would be the same...

what do you say, wouldnīt it be a solution for our blocked situation?

best wishes from austria
herbert
