Hi all,

Don't know if any of you are interested but there will apparently be talks from Ben Law (of Grand designs fame) and Patrick Whitefield (author of 'The Earth Care Manual' and 'Permaculture in a Nutshell') plus much much more!

The permaculture convergence - last call!

What are you doing 3rd - 5th September?
Would you like to come to a weekend event about permaculture practice?
300 people are coming to the permaculture convergence and we'd love you to join us.

Its three days of permaculture practicals, workshops and films, networking, sharing info, and passing on knowledge.

The next convergence is not for another two years, so now's the time to go for it if you're interested in permaculture or have some permaculture experience to share. It's one of the ways people can and are making a difference - transforming homes, gardens, farms, schools, community projects, businesses, allotments and woodlands, in cities and in the countryside.

You can see the programme (and book your place!) at www.permaculture.org.uk/convergence2010

Please forward this to your networks as well - the permaculture convergence is a really enjoyable and productive event for everyone interested in fair and sustainable ways of living.

Earth Care - People Care - Fair Shares

You can camp or book a bed. Kids welcome. 50 acre accessible site which can be reached by public transport out of London - Lambourne End outdoor centre. Pay between £180 - £60 (you choose) for three days camping, programme, and all meals.

If you've already booked your place, please encourage someone you know to come to the convergence too!
As usual we've sold almost 300 places, but most people have chosen to pay at the lower end of the sliding scale this year. This means that although the event will break even, there'll be less money from the convergence to support the work of the Permaculture Association in the year ahead. So it would be great if more people come along and have a great time with you at the convergence!

The venue, Lambourne End, can easily cope with more of us, so please tell your networks about it.
