An update on the Bridge Community Reunion

Planning time getting shorterThe work on the 21st birthday reunion of The Bridge Community is proceeding apace, and there has been a very good response from past friends and workers at the Community for the August event.

Mischa Fekete has renewed an appeal for photographs taken over the two decades to be emailed, for an exhibition during the event.

There has also been a good response to a request for accommodation in the town for those coming back for the Gathering event, and Mischa says they're trying to coordinate that. "We have been offered beds, couches and spare bedrooms, which will hopefully make things more affordable for those coming, and reduce the amount of camping needed."

In addition to photographs, the organisers also want messages sent from those unable to make it to the event.

"We're also trying to have a 'Difference Day' element through the week. One of the ideas was to redo the sun mosaic by the Bridge and another to finish off the tattoo mosaic on the end of the hall building. So we need some of you arty people to make this happen. There will also be other projects on the land and the farm and nature trail so plenty of different things to be involved in."

With just three months left to complete the planning, Mischa has asked that anyone thinking of coming who haven't yet filled out the forms, to please do so. Ideally before June 1.
