Can heartily recommend coming to this event after so many successful ones in the past. The bond between community and national and international support is special at these events.
Beir Bua amigos.
What about the Afri Famine walk on May 30th? It's being led this year by Willie and Mary Corduff, with Philip Ikurisi from the Niger Delta. Would it not be better to avoid a clash with this?
Those who can get sponsorship will do the Afri walk; how far is it to be?
Bua no bás!
the Afri walk is ten miles, but it's not at Glengad - it follows the old famine route from Doolough to Louisburgh. Details are at http://www.afri.ie
Is there transport being provided?
Regards
Here's a poster for the June gathering.

DIRECT ACTION against Shell's recent and ongoing works, including
their plans to bring back the Solitarte Pipelaying ship in mid-June,
is the name and aim of the game. COME TO MAYO now and any time. Stay
at the camp after the gathering. Let's build a momentum and a critical
mass of people, this Summer, to STOP SHELL at GLENGAD ... AGAIN. The
time to come is Now.
Bring a good tent if you have one, wellies and waterproofs, torch and penknife.
GEODOMES, TIPIS, YURTS needed if you can source them, please. We are in
need of MORE STRUCTURES.
To camp, you'll need a good tent (not a weak Lidl or Aldi tent), a good tent with good guy ropes.
'Eurohike' brand are value for money quality tents, 'Vango' are the best but they're expensive.
Wellies, raingear and a torch.
Hi everyone, we are sending the bus from Galway to gathering, but there are some people who need to get back earlier than on Monday/the bus times don`t suit them from different reasons. If there are any people driving by car and willing to give a lift to someone could you please contact galway shell to sea 086 159 0934 so we could get more people up there.
thanks
Fog everywhere.
Fog up the river, where it flows among green aits and meadows; fog down the river, where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping and the waterside pollutions of a great (and dirty) city.
Fog on the Essex marshes, fog on the Kentish heights. Fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog lying out on the yards, and hovering in the rigging of great ships; fog drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats.
Fog in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners, wheezing by the firesides of their wards; fog in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper, down in his close cabin; fog cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little prentice boy on deck. Chance people on the bridges peeping over the parapets into a nether sky of fog, with fog all round them, as if they were up in a balloon, and hanging in the misty clouds.
Gas looming through the fog in divers places in the streets, much as the sun may, from the spongey fields, be seen to loom by husbandman and ploughboy. Most of the shops lighted two hours before their time — as the gas seems to know, for it has a haggard and unwilling look.
Any use?
The only way that the war waged by shell against innocent irish citizans will be won is that if somebody gets in obamas ear usa links needed soon
Just wanted to share my excitement for this year's gathering! I was lucky to be able to tag along last year while traveling through Ireland, and this year should be just as great, if not better!
