Several tents have already been set up as another organisation under threat, the local church group, hold a food and fun afternoon. The church group worships here on a Sunday and with four businesses will lose access to the sports hall as soon as Ark, the Academy investor, moves in.

The construction of temporary accomodation or the refurbishment of the dilapidated sports hall is expected to begin next week, possibly as early as wednesday.

The camp needs your assistance. Either to stay on site, or just to visit and give few hours of your time. All are welcome. Banners are needed to be painted and hung from fences. More people are needed on site.
