Big Green Gathering 2007

Is anybody out there contemplating going this year? I'm booking up this week (£5 per person discount before May 1st).

It looks fabulous.....any feedback from previous years would be appreciated.

Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned
and the last fish has been caught
will we realise we cannot eat money

    I'd be particularly interested to hear from anybody who has been with children, and if there is plenty to keep them interested for 5 days. :)

    Please tell me this is all a(belated) April Fools joke!

    People travel(repeat travel) to a gathering from all over the country to preach how 'Green' they are. Preaching not to burn fuel on unneccesary travel and that sort of thing!!!

    No - I don't think you can only be 'green' if you promise never to set foot outside of your own home, can you? :confused:

    The gathering isn't about preaching - it's just a meeting of like-minded people. I guess you won't be going! ;)

    I'm assuming this is a poor attempt at a wind-up? :rotfl:

    Gentle mocking perhaps!

    It just seems a little like the Temperance Society holding their meetings in a Brewery.

    tickets are really expensive - for us would be £230 for five days camping! plus petrol up there, food etc

    i've heard it's a good festival, but honestly that's alot of money surely (or am i just tight?).

    : )
