Let me apologise for the lapse in regular updates to the website. We have been very busy, and as usual there have been technical issues. Hopefully these will be sorted soon. I will be posting a video in the news section next week. It will be lengthy and will cover restructuring of the Club and how we plan to move forward to best serve the membership.
The woodlander initiative has gone from strength to strength over the last year. We have secured over 20 acres in four different locations within the UK, land that can be utilised by our members. We now have over 20 of our members who have worked with us to secure ownership of their own land. We have raised well over £150,000 and increased membership to over 1000.
We have begun building projects, permaculture and self sufficiency, we have a fishing club, we recently ran short introductory courses on solar systems for electricity and communication systems that are not Internet based.
We have laid the foundation, with strong families and determined individuals. Together we will build a better system and society for our people. Like the acorns we planted that will one day be mighty oaks, so to will our small beginnings flourish and become our new future.
Last year we were part of the pan European conference for parallel societies and intentional communities. This included organisations from Germany, the UK, America, Sweden and South Africa.
We believe that in order for our people to flourish and fulfil their full potential they need a society fit for purpose and that society has to be built by us. No one is coming to the rescue, no amount of voting is going to help, society gets progressively worse, the collapse is already here, its just slow and never ending. If we really want change we need to understand it can not be done from within the system, we have to step outside and build our own parallel system, a new society.
