> Dear friends
> 
> Plans are well underway for this year's Earth First!
> Summer Gathering, and here you will find a wishlist of
> things that it would be really helpful to have - if
> you've got 'em and can bring 'em.  If you can offer
> any of these, please let us know as soon as possible. 
> 
> 
> Also, assuming foot and mouth stays out of our way, we
> are going to have some work days on site, to help set
> it up in a somewhat calm fashion!  The first is
> planned for Saturday June 9th, and there will be
> somewhere to stay over the night before/after.  The
> second will be Sunday July 8. The final one will be
> over Saturday July 28 and 29, just before the
> gathering begins.  There will be gathering meetings on
> the same weekends each time, so if you want to come to
> those also and take on some tasks, that'd be dead
> handy.
> 
> We particularly welcome people who want to join in to
> try something new or gain confidence in particular
> things. If you can bring ideas, tools or a vehicle, 
> for the workdays, that would be great.
