Foot and Mouth Disease
There was a disputed case at Avebury (vets said it was FMD, MAFF said it was Orf) but the problem is really that the NT fields have livestock, which makes them still out of bounds. P.A. |
From: clareslaney@mistral.co.uk To: stonehengepeace@yahoogroups.com Re: music and gatherings and stonehenge Date: 25 March 2001 05:15I use the word with care when I say that I *hate* the feelings of worry and fear and anxiety that follow so much of the solstice celebrations at Stonehenge. When whatever genius wrote about Stonehenge being a Goddess, it felt like the Truth for me. Images of femaleness, and of the result of thinking about the site being feminine, made complete sense.
But others will have their own image of Goddess, and I hope that image will help with peace, cooperation, creativity, and the equal contribution of everyone at the event to simply
I'd also make the suggestion that the usual male voices step down this year and allow women to say whatever small things need to be said on the day.
Thank you for the inspiration!

Letter From Karelia
I thought summer 2000 was a trap - some would overstay stonehenge solstice morning and get evicted and banned for another decade and then next year it'd be druids, tickets, VIPs and police fighting others - but we had a live acoustic rave all night and it rained and we left early ha ha! Stonehenge A303 Tunnel? If the army sold the north route they could buy a new gun. But a cut and cover A303 tunnel means bulldozing the earth destroying thousands of years of archeology forever. We know there was a fantastic culture living there for thousands of years. Will there be a meticulous survey of the proposed route before any irreversible destruction is begun? How many people built Stonehenge? Where did they live? Surely the area was busy, I bet if they survey they'll find something amazing. Which is why they wouldn't want to. [george@dicenews.com] Watching videos of the 1st June 1985 'Battle of the Beanfield' (where hundreds of riot police stopped the Stonehenge Festival convoy) nobody remarked that any one of us alleged 'mad anarchist hippy' drivers could have squashed many cops by ramming them between two buses. But then Thatcher would have gone apeshit. Belgrano! (dicegeorge). |
Appeal for landIn 2000, in pouring rain, 7000 people gathered at Stonehenge Summer Solstice 2001 is unlikely to be smaller.The Midsummer Festival has been traditional since time immemorial. The oldest ritual centre in Europe is a 10,000 year old totem post hole in the EH car park. It is as though the festival were part of our DNA. Never before dubious foot and mouth regulations have we experienced such a starvation of access to the countryside. Not everyone is against having a free festival at Stonehenge itself, but a nearish after party might be wiser in the wake of unforgotten inflammatory situations with the police. Suitable festival sites are all that needs to be found. The land IS ours, but at our own risk. Pragmatic Idealism. JESTERDREAM @hotmail.com | |

Hello, On the subject of sitting on the stones - personally I don't feel the need to and
if the lichens would be seriously damaged we should stay off the stones anyway.
However, we should also consider English Heritage's reaction if people do continue to sit on the stones - are they likely to over-react and close the site to us again? If so it isn't worth the risk in my opinion. Sarah |

Now that this Stonehenge is open to everyone...
we would like to see the organic recreation of its central culminating mystery, the communal sunrise ceremony that Stonehenge was built and orientated to enshrine.
Whether you come robed or unrobed, in party dress or plain, these are some words will be using:
We swear by peace and love to stand Heart to heart and hand in hand, Mark, O Spirit, and hear us now, Confirming this our sacred vow.(Glastonbury Order of Druids)
A cheeky clever chap, a light and friend to thousands of us....
If any one of us could've swapped places we would've.
It's not fair..

2001 Avon Free Festival
Although Cockney was arrested at the first site, after some heavy Public Order action by Bristol's "Rave Busting Taskforce", 500+ determined party-goers managed to make the second rendezvous at Aust. The revellers left in one unbroken line and milled around the motorway. The party then went off in city centre Bristol and Cockney was released in time to come to the party. The powers that be seemed only willing to hold the party in the area that would cause the most disturbance to the most residents. Figure that one! Next year's Avon Free Festival is to be held on the last bank holiday weekend in May, the 10th Anniversary of Castlemorton Common.

English Heritage are investigating the hole at the summit of Silbury Hill.
Until the exact size and position of the shafts is known, repair work cannot be undertaken in case this further destabilises the Hill.
