[at-l] Gathering Locations needed

[spiriteagle99 at hotmail.com (Jim and/or Ginny Owen)]

Actually, ALDHA really NEEDS to find some alternate locations for the 
Gathering.  Dartmouth has become much less friendly to the Gathering - i.e. 
no water at the campground, no early arrivals, no auditorium available for 
the opening ceremony, etc.  It is possible that Storrs Campground will be 
closed to us entirely, then where do we sleep?  The farmers' fields we used 
to use have all been developed.

As to Pipestem - if Warren decides to let everyone know that he isn't 
involved in the planning of the next Gathering, we may no longer be welcome 
at Concord College either.

Two years from now the Gathering may not have any place to go.  So if you 
know a school or any other facility that is willing to let groups use their 
classrooms for almost no money, with a  good camping area nearby, a room big 
enough to assemble 400-500 people, that is near the AT -- let someone on the 
Board know.  ALDHA has been talking about finding alternate locations for 
years, but now it is time to get serious.

BTW - we're no longer on the Board.  Jim went to Hanover to get unelected - 
and he was eminently successful.  We be goin' hikin'.
