The Heartbeat team (organisers of the Summer Gathering) have already begun organising for our next Gathering in August (11th - 14th). This will be an amazing event. We will have various inspiring and fun workshops, live music, children's and teens activities, and this year we will also be inviting some very interesting guest speakers.
The Summer Gathering is a fund raiser for the Richard Glyn Charitable Foundation which is an educational charity based here at Gaunts House in Wimborne, Dorset. For more information on Gaunts House and the foundation please see the Gaunts House website: http://www.gauntshouse.com/
(See below for a video of the Gathering).
Stu (community member & volunteer coordinator for the gathering) has painted an amazing picture of Gaunts House and the grounds which we will be using for the flyer and other advertising material.
We have set up a facebook page for the Gathering http://www.facebook.com/gauntsgathering where you can discuss ideas, volunteering, check on updated info on tickets etc, and also meet other people who will be coming to the Gathering.
There is a lot of work going on in all areas; site planning, security arrangements, booking workshops, muscians, guest speakers, planning activities for teenagers and children, health and safety, visuals, advertising ..., ..., ..., ...,
Sara (community member and visuals coordinator) is hoping that some of you may be able to donate any old, unwated decorative fabrics especially indian saris, please? This would be a great help for us in decorating the theatre and making it look magical. Thankyou very much if you can help with this. If you can, please give us a call on the number below.
If you are interested in volunteering please email Stu: summergathering@hotmail.co.uk
If you happen to have any unusual skills, eg circus skills, living statue, children's entertainer, music performer, etc, you may like to volunteer with this in mind. Volunteering is a great way to get to know the Gaunts House community, other volunteers and to have a unique and special experience. Volunteers are asked to help out for 4 hours per day during the gathering which means you have the rest of the time free to enjoy the experience as if you had paid for entry!
And here is a video of our last Summer Gathering made by community member Rob Lockwood...
