Collective responsibilities

Organising and running the Gathering is a lot of work and responsibility. As we are a non-hierarchical organisation, that responsibility lies with everybody. So, if you see something that needs doing, then it is your responsibility to do it or ensure it gets done.

That said, we have a list of people who are responsible for what. That doesn't mean that they are responsible for doing everything in their area of responsibility; it just means that they are there to ensure that whatever needs doing in their area gets done, by asking for help wherever needed. Hopefully a team of people will take on responsibility for each area.

There are a few areas that still need people to take this role on. These are, currently:

  • Tat-down (definitely a team job, including transport, rubbish and catering)
  • Water supply
  • Wood
  • Rubbish
  • Fire safety

if you think you can help in any of these areas of responsibility that would be really great. Please do get in touch.

Workshops

Workshops at the gathering are put on by anybody and everybody. You don't have to be an expert public speaker to put on a workshop, or even an expert in the subject! Fancy teaching us about the evils of Monsanto? enabling discussions on sharing of techniques for de-arrest? sharing skills for resisting the destruction of peat? Contact us with any ideas.

Tat

To put a gathering together takes an enormous amount of equipment. If you have any you feel is of use, please do contact us. The list of equipment that would be of use is so large that we have set up a separate page - our wish list - please do check and see if there is anything you can provide.

Skills

Please do let us know if you have any skills that may be of use in the gathering.

Examples of skills include:

  • Facilitation
  • Mediation
  • Healing
  • First aid
  • Construction (domes, bog building...)
  • Translation (spoken languages and BSL)
  • Alt tech
  • Care assistant
