If you are seriously interested, and are in a position to join
this project, please get in touch as soon as possible. What happens
next will depend on the people who get involved.
To
make it happen, people with money, probably from the sale of their
house, will be needed, as sites with residential planning permission
are expensive. However, people with little or no money, but with
energy and enthusiasm are also needed. We just need to find the
right mix of people, who can work together to make things happen.
If you are not sure if this project is right for you, please get
in touch anyway. It's not practical to put more than a summary of
ideas on this web site, and at this early stage much is up for discussion.
If this isn't the right project for you, but you are looking for
land and people to create a sustainable settlement, please visit
the LandMatch
web site, where you may find something suitable, or you can post
your own ideas.
We have a contact list of Members and Friends, so when you contact
us to join, please say which list you would like to be on.
Members
A Member is someone who is seriously interested in being a resident
of an eco-hamlet. They may be ready now, or not for several years,
and joining does not entail any commitment, but they must demonstrate
that they have a serious interest, and will respect other group
members. On application they will receive by e-mail:
- The current and back numbers of our Newsletter
- Link to our Online Survey1,
with a request to complete it
Once a Member has completed the survey in a way that shows they
are serious, they will be given access to:
- Our Google E-Mail Group2
- Our Member's Private Web Site
If a member does not complete the survey within a reasonable
time, or appears to show no serious interest, they will be transferred
to the Friends List, be removed from the Google Group and have their
access to the Private Web Site removed. This will be done in fairness
to existing Members.
Friends
Anyone who is interested in following our progress, or may be
able to offer help and support will be a Friend, and will receive:
So please contact us if you would like
to join.
1Online Survey
- Our survey is used to gather relevent information on what members
are looking for and what they can offer. It has proved very useful
so far in developing the group.
2Google Group - We use this e-mail group to
get to know each other, discuss potential sites and organise the
project. Members may unsubscribe if they wish, but will miss out
on much of our activity.
