Whats Going On

For some 40 years the 16th Century farm cottage that is Dial House has been the base of operations for a number of cultural, artistic and political projects. These range from avant-garde jazz events to helping to found the free festival movement, from hosting Permaculture courses to setting up the Anarchist punk band CRASS.

‘Lifting the Lid of the Compost Toilet’, made by award winning film maker Nick Fenton, documents the building of a compost toilet at Dial House over two very hot days in July 2002. As well as providing a glimpse of the Dial House ethos at work, this is also a practical guide that can enable and empower anybody to turn the ‘problem’ of human waste into a valuable source of fertility.

NB. Includes strong language, incidental nudity and dubious puns.

Features Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, Graham Burnett and Ron Bates

For those of you who haven't got this in your diary, the Black Environment Network Conference is an excellent opportunity to bring yourself up to date on a range of diversity issues and to meet other colleagues who are committed to improving the diversity of our sector.

I am personally a big supporter of BEN and have taken the liberty of agreeing to help increase the numbers for their conference.

If you cannot afford the time to attend at such short notice, please pass this onto your own contacts both within your own organisations and through your personal networks.

Your assistance in this matter will be much appreciated and will help to progress the drive to improve the environmental sectors understanding of and engagement with diverse communities.
