[soilhack-announce] Soil Hack 2018- Invitation

Wed Apr 25 20:01:59 CEST 2018

Hi Frank and all 
I could be persuaded to do a compost workshop. I was just planning on coming for the day and doing a workshop with Nicky Gibbins but I could stay the night as well now as I’ll be back from Italy 
Would you like me to do that?

I’d really like to know if Mick will be holding a workshop at the event. Can anyone shed any light in this? 

As a hobby grower, what he’s said about making compost has really peaked my interest in attending this year.

Thanks so much Adam.

Just needing to simplify as we receive all email threads, which can be quite lengthy.

See you soon,

Hi

My name is frank, I've been working with the group to organise the gathering.

For clarity.... We welcome everyone! nobody is excluded for any reason, we welcome all nations, religions, cultures and diet choices.

We offer a catering that doesn't include animal products for the weekend, its part of the foundations of the venue we were offered. It means people who usually eat meat (myself being one) may have to go without for a day or two. If that upsetting or anyone feels discriminated against in some way its not meant to be, its meant to be as inclusive as possible. 

I'm happy to have more discussions about this with anyone.

Yours Frank

Hi,

I'd really like to have clarity about this, I wasn't aware that meat-eaters are not allowed, and can't quite believe this????!!

Really? The soil hack group don't allow in meat-eaters? Surely thus 
can't be true.
