if you attended the public meeting at the end of big green you will know that the local police and council have brought the big green close to being bankrupt .
Anyway their asking for donations to keep them afloat either that or you could become a shareholder .
The big green is the biggest eco event in the country and Ive been going to it for about 7 years and its really great and it would be a shame if it closed .
So do what you can to help pass out this news to anywhere on the internet you think there may be people who can help .
There isnt much time

Im sure a lot of green people would try to help if they knew about it but its just contacting them in time .
I dont think its bad management because from what Ive seen its one of the best managed festivals its just the crazy money the local police and council want .

I know they were saying about how the council had made them employ sia bouncer types at £13+ a hour to man road checkpoints where before they had stewards who they paid minimum wage and the wages for just a few points went from £4000-5000 to £20,000 -£30,000 .
I manned some of those points last year and they didnt need security guards you were dealing with hippies , we had no trouble whatso ever

The amount of security they had to have this year was ridiculous!
It was all in case there was a 'terror threat' - how stupid!

I've applied to be a shareholder.

Its about time the health and safety brigade stepped down and allowed the common sense brigade to prevail.
