Half of extra schools spending in the last decade has gone on special needs and three-quarters of England's councils face bankruptcy over the costs. As parents chase support for their children, Send is out of control.

Rossport Solidarity Camp Planning Forum and Building Weekend

category mayo | environment | event notice author Saturday July 01, 2006 09:45author by Rossport Solidarity Camp Report this post to the editors

On the bank holiday of the 4th to 7th of August you are invited to a weekend of planning, construction and fun at the Rossport Solidarity Camp in Erris, Co. Mayo.

This is intended to give people who cannot be on the camp a chance to participate more.

The weekend is planned to cover two areas; forums and practical work.

Forums; these are meetings for planning future strategies.

The Camp:
How can you help to make Rossport Solidarity Camp stronger for the future?
How can we all promote, fund, and gather materials for Rossport Solidarity Camp to better effect?

Privatisation of Natural Resources:
How do we raise the profile of the issue of privatisation of natural resources to a national level?

Open Forum:
To debate issues not covered in the previous two meetings.

Practical work:
In order for the camp to remain a habitable environment during the winter participatory workshops are planned to work on site construction.

As always there will be delicious vegetarian and vegan food available, and a social event is planned, more details to follow…

Practical work to be undertaken on the August bank holiday weekend in initial preparations for autumn and winter 2006 at Rossport Solidarity Camp, Glengad.

Much of the existing construction has been assembled quickly and using donated material and naturally is very ad hoc.
To prepare the camp for the winter some of the structures need to be altered while others will be dismantled as not being suitable for winter weather.

The work which we hope to undertake over the weekend is essential for the camp and a good opportunity for people to learn.

There is a long list of proposed work to be done before winter and people are welcome to come up anytime to help out with the campaign, picketing and building.

Work to be undertaken includes maintaining the grey water systems, constructing steps to reduce our impacts on the sand dunes, preparing, upgrading and insulating benders for winter, and insulating, lining, and bracing the communal.

Over the weekend we hope to tackle work on the protective steps and work on the benders.

The protective steps consist of constructing steps and a pathway from the main camp area to the toilets and camp entrance to prevent erosion of the machairs (sand dunes).
For this we will use timber we have recently skipped along with the abundance of flat well eroded beach stones in our location.

To prepare the benders for winter in our slightly hostile environment we intend to first remove all existing coverings down to bare hazel.
Then we will insulate the hazel using whatever materials we can accumulate for this purpose (blankets and duvets, carpet, underlay, etc..) these have to be held and lapped so that no gaps occur and no drafts are created.
After this we will cover our benders with second hand ex-army canvas (at the moment they are covered in polythene), before re-roping them.
A new door system will also be installed.
Work will also be done to the stoves in each bender, safety improvements in the chimney and installation of hearths. While there are now four communal sleeping spaces some smaller private benders are being planned.
