This where we intend going on our Summer holiday this year

[Guest guest]

It would be nice to see some members of this group there. We expect to be

there for at least a week.

 

Vegan Camp 2005 6th - 20th August

 

Ley Hill Caravan Park, Cardington, Church Stretton, Shropshire, SY6 7LA The

25th Vegan Camp this year will be delightfully situated amongst the gentle hills

of Shropshire. Attractive views all round. Not far to Wales and the Midlands.

Local attractions include the Ironbridge Gorge and Museum, about 15 or so miles

away. There's also the picturesque town of Bridgenorth, and local market towns

of Ludlow and Shrewsbury (30 minutes drive ). The nearest shops (including a

Co-op) are in Church Stretton, about 15 minutes drive away. Long Mynd, a local

'long mountain, Karadoc Hill and Lawley Hill overlook the site and there's

plenty of local walks.

 

The Ley Hill Caravan Park Camp Site is an excellent location for exploring this

area being visited by the Vegan Camp for the first time ever. For the past 24

summers a group of vegans (and those willing to be vegan for at least the

duration of the camp) have met at numerous venues around the country. Last year

was in Northumberland, and next year we will be in Creetown, Scotland. We are a

diverse group with ages from babies up to those in their 70's, singles, couples

and families. Some people come every year and some come when we are in their

area.

 

What is consistent is the friendly, helpful and fun atmosphere, which you will

find at these camps. We are able to draw on the many talents and enthusiasm of

some of those attending to put on events which in the past has included such

things as circus skills workshops, first aid lessons, raw and wild food

workshops, rock climbing, surfing, orienteering, meditation, talent shows, yoga

etc: we would always welcome new skills or offers and suggestions. We have many

children attending each year and it is an ideal time for them to meet other

vegan children and to see that they are not the odd one out. Children and

adults form many friendships at the camp.

 

People stay for periods from day visits to the full two weeks. Most stay at the

site itself but some stay at nearby accommodation such as hotels or

guesthouses/hostels and visit during the day. We usually have between 60 - 110

people come to stay over the 2 week period. Many of us have been coming for ten

years or more. We often have communal meals (sometimes with a talent show),

sing songs, camp fires (if allowed) and just general lounge-abouts. We enjoy

going on outings to the beach, walks in the countryside, having picnics, and

visiting local places of interest.

 

This year's campsite is situated at Cardington, near Church Stretton,

Shropshire. The site is in a quite secluded, almost deserted area. There are

very attractive views all round and lovely countryside. There's enough space,

on a slightly sloping site with flat areas. Two fields have been reserved, the

smaller one most suited to field games etc. There's also plenty of space for

those who wish to be further away from the communal tent and noisier areas. We

do however expect quiet after 11 pm in the communal tent and quiet on the site

in general once children are settles for the night. Responsible dogs on leads

are accepted. The site has a sauna. There is very limited indoor accommodation

available - a self-contained flatlet at about £22 per night or about £110 per

week. This unit is attached to the main building. There is one caravan

available to rent, on a first served, first come basis, preferable booked by the

full week. Electric hook-up is available at one end of our extensive field,

this will cost £2 per night but must be requested in advance when booking as

pitches with this facility are limited. Also please request to bring small

touring caravans onto our camping pitches, possible but needs to be booked.

Arrival - Departure - due to the narrow public roads and lanes around the site

all arrivals are strictly p.m. only and all departures are equally strictly a.m.

only.

 

Hope we'll see you there! http://www.veggies.org.uk/vegancamp

" The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral,

begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing

evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder a liar,

but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through

violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In

fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence

for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night

already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out hate: only light

can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: Only LOVE can do that. "

Every year we do have some Raw Vegans at this camp. So I hope anyone

in UK and near this way will looking in Next August.

 

It would be good if someone could talk to the camp about the

goodness of eating raw.

 

Love Peace & harmony
