It’s been a great start to the new year for us with thanks going to charity trustee and OTP director Steve Muggeridge for landing an Arts Council England grant to ensure advance planning for the Green Gathering 2021 steams ahead – even if we don’t we know for sure as we write this in January if the national vaccination programme will see us back to normal in time. All of us are working as normal on the assumption that all will be well and we are working on a range of ideas and initiatives designed to keep the optimism flowing and expectation rising so if you have any smart ideas, nows the time to get in touch.

Alex died 24th August 2019
It was Alex who first suggested we create a Charity to look after the Green Gathering Community and it was Alex who carried the weight of making it a reality. We owe her and we will miss her. She was smart, funny, generous and hard working; she was wonderful.
New Company Secretary appointed
Sara Mai has been appointed as the Charity’s Company Secretary. Sara has volunteered with the Charity for a number of years and has worked closely with the Trustees on a number of issues. Sara has volunteered to take on this role as Susan Alexander is terminally ill and needs to step down after 7 years service. Thank you very much to Sara for supporting us at this tragic time
GG19
It was sunny! We were happy. Beautiful event, well done everyone.
Thanks to those who attended the Charity Member’s Tea Party on the Sunday where we looked at the feedback we had received over the event. The comments and ideas the meeting found relevant will be written up by the GreenStage crew and that, and any progress made, will be shared at the next member’s meeting in Bristol this autumn.
Project reports coming soon…
