Dragon Site Devastated

[pink sarah]

Bad news from Cigarrones....

The council came in with diggers last week under the premise off ´planting trees´ and have dug up the entire site. it is now basically a muddy moonscape. The holes are about 3 feet apart, 4 to 6 feet wide and 3 or four feet deep. There is nowhere to park a van, let alone put a marquee. They have dug all the way back to the end of the valley. Everywhere you could possible park a vehicle. The access to the site is now extremely limited - one vehicle wide, no passing spaces, and the only places not devastated are a couple of small bits of land which are privately owned (last years green fields)

If people are going to go they are going to need shovels and boards to park their vehicles on because even if they fill the holes the vehicles will just sink into the ground.

The organisers want the event to go ahead so if you come, please be prepared.

Anyone got any ideas what we can do to sort this out?

oh no, that's rubbish!!!

thanks for the info, sarah.... it's true that, as was mentioned in the other thread, if there was a more community effort made for this fest it could really work out - maybe even improve things there.... was such a beautiful place and fantastic for a festie! i'm sorry i don't have anything more useful to add right now, but hope a plan comes together - good luck!
