HE CO-OPERA IVE PUBLICA ION OF HE IN ERNA IONAL FES IVAL OF CO-OPERA ION #co

Te inherent camp problem with noiselevels has reared its ugly head yet again a terthe last three nights’ parties. We publishedone complaint yesterday and more arecoming in by the minute. Prompted by thisoutcry and pre-camp’s suggestion to have aconsultation on noise levels a ter the frstew nights we sent out our investigative

journalist to get to the bass o the matter.

Opinions range rom indi erent toindignant on both sides, but reports suggestthat most pioneers and elfns in even theclosest village to the late night music aresleeping soundly. Louis, 11, rom Brad ordeven said he “quite likes it” and alls asleepeasily to it. We also interviewed DJ Pandabe ore he played last night who said hebelieves that “up until 2am you can neverhave too much noise. When it comes to livebands and DJs who have come rom ar andwide to unite and co-operate on making sureeveryone has a good evening”

Needing an expert opinion on how loud themusic should be we consulted Protag ourcamp soundman. He started o by saying beglad it’s not as loud as the ‘absolute wall o sound’ at Pink Floyd in Knebworth in 1977.Putting laughing and joking aside though,he went on to say it’s actually quite di cultto turn down the volume o a band. It’s likepainting, in that you can add colours to apage but “there’s no paint in the paint pot tomake blank” i.e. no knob to turn a banddown but only one to turn it up. He evengoes so ar as saying the best way to turndown a band is to get on stage and tap the

We’re sorry i anyone’s eeling hungryas we iron out the niggles in the ooddelivery process. We know that there ’sbeen some rustration as we sort outwhat is a huge undertaking, to makesure that everything’s runningsmoothly. We’ve been working late into

the night to make sure that ordersare updated and double-checked totake into account last-minutebooking changes and some dietaryrequirements that we didn’t knowabout be ore people arrived at camp.

We’re also working hard to make surewe can identi y and solve problemsand missing items in our dailydeliveries to site – and one o theCo-op Group’s local managers is nowworking with us on this here on siteevery morning.We think that things are gettingbetter now. All the deliveries totowns yesterday were on time, andmost (but not all) gaps in the

quantities or uturemeals seem low, pleasetalk to your grocer as

soon as possible toadjust your order.

I you’re missing something, or need mosomething, then we can sort problems outthey need to be channelled through your grocery. I you need something extra, we cait quite quickly, but not immediately – sneed to think ahead a couple o daysanticipate i what you’ve receivedcombined with what you’re due to get migbe enough. When you’re talking to your gplease try and distinguish between thingsyou’ve ordered but not received and thingyou want to order more o .

Food for thoughtSpeaking out - Most CoCampers agree that the loud music isn’t a problem

guitarist on the shoulder.

Protag’s views concur with the general thougthose that the nights are aimed at; many thinkmusic is as quiet as it should go already. It was tdown urther at around midnight Sunday nighthis just cleared the tent and the DJ ended up inearly thoroughly dejected. Tere’s a belie that a part o Woodcra t camps is the late night programit provides an outlet or the crazier side oyounger members and is seen as one o the mainthat venturers and DFs socialise. Tis is a divmovement o all ages and a banning o late noise could alienate a big chunk o that diversity

However, while agreeing that the music wasn

much o a problem, Village 18 coordinators didto say that their villagers were disturbed by the around the main campfre (also right next to village). Te fery merry makers had sung and cheall through the night but when this carried on3am (the o cial end o late night estivities) villagers thought this was a bit much. Pleasenoise levels past 3am to an absolute minimum itair to out these already very lenient rules.

Te discussion continues, do you agreewith our fndings? Emailpress@woodcra t.org.uk tohave your say.

Coming rom two small post-confictcountries, we elt uncom ortable to read an article claiming that “the pride o belonging to the nation is equal to thepride o belonging to a political party

that refects your views”. And we havetwo examples that show the opposite.

Even though we have di erentexperiences, they both show thatnationalism rather divides than

celebrates diversity.

An example o Yugoslavia: a multinationalstate, united by sisterhood, brotherhood,and comradeship was torn apart by theen orcement o nationalism and genocidethat ollowed it. Until then, Yugoslavidentity was based on common values, allthe nations could coexist peace ully and itdidn’t matter which country the Yugoslavcitizens initially belonged to. Very soona ter the increasing rise o nationalism theneighbours that lived together or 30 ormore years became enemies. Te massacres

and genocide in Bosnia didn’t happen because o thelack o national identity but quite the opposite.

An example o Lithuania: Lithuania was one o thefrst states who managed to get independence romthe iron clench o the Soviet Union. WavingLithuanian ags while fghting or the right to speak,read what you like, have your own political views, aright to move, breathe or just be di erent, was a fghtor reedom not a right to ethnocentric nationalism.

And people waving the ags were fghting or reedomtogether regardless o their di erent ethnicities:Polish, Lithuanian, Jews, etc. I they ocused on beingproud o their nationality, ethnicity, or whatever theywould not have a ground or common struggle.

As socialists we are united by values we believe in:equality, solidarity, reedom and peace. By this weocus on what we have in common and what unites us,

not what divides us. We fnd it hard to understandwhy people would want to ocus on identi ying withthe idea that caused (and is still causing) so muchsu ering, division and con icts rather than the ideaswhich acknowledge and embrace diversity and ocuson shared values. And we fnd it di cult tounderstand how sharing the same nationality can bea value in itsel .

Which country you belong to says as much about youas a person as whether or not you have allergies. Wealso believe that the struggle o our Palestiniancomrades is a struggle or reedom andliberation and not the right to nationalism.

All o this has already been said manytimes. But not always as inspiring as withthe words o John Lennon: “Imaginethere’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do.Nothing to kill or die or… Imagine all thepeople sharing all the world.”

On Monday morning, all the camperswere surprised to hear the sirens orhe fre drill. Each town marched o toheir fre point.

“Te only thing that didn’t go accordingto plan was that the Blue Cedar ownheard Silver Birch own’s practice andthought it was or them so we did two atonce.”Some people said the fre drill wasexciting and un, some said it wasboring and annoying (Red Oak ownwere hal way through their lunch –some people took their lunches withthem).“We were just really impressed at howorganised some villages are,” said Jon.“One village turned up with a laminated A3 sheet with the names o all their

campers, what days they were there andany health needs. We gave them a goldstar.”Tere had been a plan to light a real,controlled fre at Red Oak own, but theplan was cancelled.“Te Scouts postponed it,” said Jon.“Tey wanted to test their on-sitevehicles but they decided it wasn’tsomething that was appropriate to do.We think it’s probably because it wastoo windy a day.”

He asked us toinvestigate rumours o Red Oak. Tis townwas said to be the most

sustainable in thewhole o CoCamp, atitle which surely mustbe hard-won.

Te Ox ord Boys: Reporters in the feld

News eam 16 - NeverKnowingly Factual since 2015

t was a long and ar-too-hot Mondaya ternoon when Kit came and asked us tonvestigate rumours o Red Oak. Tis town

was said to be the most sustainable in the

whole o CoCamp, a title which surelymust be hard-won. We had no idea at allabout this town, tucked away up in acorner. We came there only once be oreor a workshop that never was. A disap-

pointment we struggled against when sethis task. A disappointment that we cameo leave tattered in Red Oak’s majestic

wake.

Kit Jones came to me and in a casual and optimistiche said “I need, a daring team o journalists, who nothing and will not stop at anything to get an at lpassable story,” I told him I knew the exact right typpeople, it was a job or News eam 16.

Te moment we were told we would be headed to Red Oear and panic set in, but such was the strength o Neam 16 we kept a cool ace whilst our new boss

within eyeshot. Red Oak is notorious amongst CoCor being rufans and producing mass nuclear waste. T

tip was, they had been conducting research into geengineering naughty woodchips into a race o 7 carbon beast-men.

Knowing we would all de nitely be in great perilarmed ourselves with le tovers rom camp dinner. were sa e in the knowledge that living thing could hopose a threat when con ronted with such an abominato chemical re use.

A ter many days hiking, our de ence had decom posed a ate worse, than a ate worse than death. Our oweapon was now our only obstacle. We pressed on the umes rom camp ‘dinner’ overcame us andcollapsed. Tere was little hope as the noxious gases tincapacitated us were coming rom our own backpackspockets.

We awoke in a strange environment. Te air was clethere was no litter on the oor and ha rdly a wasp in sigWe still thought the only logical explanation was thahad died and somehow ended up in heaven. It must been a mistake in the a terli e administration ofces, bthere was no point bothering anyone with that now.

A small el n appeared out o nowhere, as they tendand said happily “Oh nally, you‘re awake,” We askawe “Where are we?” He responded “Tis is Red where are you rom? ” I replied “We are rom Blue Cmany many miles away,” Te young child cut across“You mean the village over there?” Sure enough atwenty or so meters over the ridge Bl ue Cedar lay. At point we clearly took a wrong turn

Te child seemed to know a thing or two so we thouwe’d humour him by giving him an interview. Why exare there not as many wasps in this corner o CoCampWell, that’s because we wash up all our plates, try nlitter, and take care o recycling and slops propobviously that’s going to reduce the amount o cr

crawlies that are aroundWhat do you have to say about the rumours Red Oak been producing excessive amounts o nuclear waste?Oh, that was a rumour started by Yellow Aspen becthey were jealous o how much energy we had rom power. All o Red Oak uses it, it’s an excellent wmaking energy without the waste. In act i socinvested more in it than the modern world’s curpower source it has the potential to actually be mefcient. You’re an adult, you should know that.

Well what about these carbon beast-men, know it all?[Te el n shi ts nervously under oot] I’m not supposed talk about this, we did create the theory or them but Red Oak Council o Elders re used to use the solar enor such a cause. We were going to burn the plans in

Research is part o the vital bread andbutter o journalism, and in traditionalearly-bird-catches-the-worm manner wedecided to dive in at the deep end andhave a solar shower. Solar and shower isnot a combination o words that normallyinstils con dence in this Woodcra ter; butin the interests o research and with apressing need to scour the soles o myeet- I jumped in. Te water heating

system has 9 panels with water owingthroughout, with 5 o the 9 paragons o power being made at the last internationalcamping event, Global Village. Te panelsare connected to a large tank where thewater constantly swirls and circulates toprevent it rom cooling too much whennot in the panels. Te display was quiteimpressive. A ar cry rom the traditionalset-up o a hose painted black andproviding all o 30 seconds worth o warmwater.

Will Serby

CoCamp style comes into its own with thesublime collection that Will Serby wears sovery eloquently. Styling himsel rom theexact date o August 12th 1925 at precisely1 o’clock in the a ternoon, this strappingyoung lad appears nonchalant in his‘English gentleman’s’ attire; shirt, tie,tweed jacket. Tis look takes dedication…i you have the commitment to devote yourli estyle to this appearance then thebenefts certainly are clear. Will shopsalmost entirely rom vintage shops, andobviously due to their style all his clothes

are rom tailors in England. Te jacketshown is made rom the fnest Cotswoldstweed coupled with Harris weed.

But is it practical or CoCamp? Will assuresus that it is very practical….just look at hissocks! He never gets anything in his shoes.Other around him are sceptical due to heatissues, but Will is unperturbed…insistingyou get used to it.And fnally when asked i there are anyessential accessories Will Serby simplyreplied “loose lea tea!”

Jamie

Jamie the Morris Dancer certainlycelebrated his 17th Birthday instyle…shown here with his

hand-tailored traditional; ‘BorderMorris Dancer’ costume.Border Morris Dancing derives romthe Welsh and English Border andinvolves a lot o very wildmovements with loud screaming. Bigsticks are also a prominent part o thedance.Te ace paint is a necessity also since itacts as a disguise…in the history o thedance you would be in disguise so no onewould know who you are!I don’t know i the Morris Dancer look isgoing to catch on at this camp but I thinkyou look ab Jamie!

Will

Another Will now, but this one plays downhis everyday style…buying most o hisclothes rom eBay (wow aren’t ourCoCampers good at the old second handgame) he gathers a beauti ul array o necklaces stretching as ar as a compass!I’m not such a an o orienteering, Will, butI’m a an o your style!

Annie is defnitely ‘bringing it’ as a ashionicon at CoCamp. She looks divine in hercharity shop-bought clothes… notconcerned with popular ashion trends herphilosophy is: ‘I’ll get something i I see itand like it!’
