Stonehenge2006 The Summer Solstice Celebration
The odyssey continues - a unique collaborative effort between the
community
and English Heritage brings us another government approved
opportunity to
celebrate the summer solstice at Stonehenge as many of our ancestors may have
for thousands of years. Apart from the human sacrifices that is!
;-)
The car park opens Tuesday evening 2oth June at 8pm. The stones
will
open at 10pm until 9am (no entry after 6am). The car park closes
at
1pm.
Sunrise will occur at 04.58 on Wed 21st June
2006
There will be a special bus service from Salisbury railway
station
for around £7 round trip. Buses are every half hour from
20:30pm
until 01:15am to Stonehenge and return every twenty minutes
or
sooner from 05:15am until 06:15am, then every half hour until

Acoustic music is encouraged, amplified
music is not allowed, so
bring your drums, bells, whistles and guitars
etc.
There will be Recycling points and we will be given a clear
rubbish
bag. The contents of these clear bags will then be sorted so
that
as much of the rubbish can be recycled as possible, you are
invited
to participate in making this initiative a
success
Wholesome vegetarian food will be available from government
approved food stands.
This celebration is a product of all of us,
the synergy, the magic
that we create when each one of us is everything
that we can be. We
are encouraged to use the areas around the outside of
the stones for
workshops, "talks", chanting, games, music, theatre dance
etc,
"Bring what you would like to see"
There will be
The Sacred Soapbox - a spoken word area where YOU can
have your say, share
your poetry and songs. Also two braziers where
impromptu events can take
place Be colourful, dress up bring banners
always be mindful of health and
safety realities any questions in
this area should be addressed with
english heritage in advance.
By embracing the optimum possibility
for this Stonehenge event, we
will increase the likelihood of it being
successful, adding one more
grain of sand to the scales that hold the
balance for our global
future - Remember at a critical point, one grain of
sand can tip the
scales one way or the other- your input right now may be
that grain
of sand.

Diggers350
- an e-mail discussion/information-share list for campaigners involved with
THE LAND IS OURS landrights network (based in the UK ..web ref.
www.thelandisours.org). The list was originally concerned with the 350th
anniversary of The Diggers (& still is concerned with their history). The
Diggers appeared at the end of the English Civil war with a mission to make
the earth 'a common treasury for all'. In the spring of 1999 there were
celebrations to remember the Diggers vision and their contribution. Find out
more about the Diggers and see illustrations at: http://www.bilderberg.org/diggers.htm
