Eco-village occupation in Windsor this June.
by diggers2012
Hello please circulate this to friends and interested parties…
Stand Up Ye Diggers All!
On Saturday 09th June, we will be walking from Syon Lane Community Allotmentin West London to Windsor. We will be camping for one night on the route. Our aim is to start a community on a piece of disused land on the Crown Estate.
We plan to grow our own food, make shelters and live sustainably: to show an alternative to our system of crisis. We call for the right for everyone to be able to use the disused land to live on, free the yoke of debt and rent.

Maybe your West London Diggers’ group would be interested in linking up with the Wellingborough Diggers and North West of England Diggers at the 2nd Wigan Diggers’ Festival? The festival celebrates the life, ideas and actions of Wigan born and bred Gerrard Winstanley, the inspirational leader of our 17th Century namesakes. The Festival is on the 8th September. See: http://wigandiggersfestival.org/. Great to know there is a Diggers group in London inspired by GW. You would be very, very welcome to our event which is FREE and has 19 acts confirmed as performing.
