Co-Housing: Suggested Calendar for 2012 

UPDATED: January 16th, 2012

We envisage that membership will grow gradually over time.  The initial group joining may be quite small and this will enable a smoother and more natural foundation for the community to grow from.
Dates  & other information

Week beginning 27th February, 2012

 

CURRENT STATUS ON CONFIRMED PARTICIPANTS: 6 people as of 16th January, 2012

 

BOOK EARLY TO FACILITATE LIFT SHARE & TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

Co-housing meeting at the chateau - w/b 27th February

At this meeting, we will be looking at the options for joining, and the configuration of the community in legal terms as well as operationally.  There will be the opportunity to discuss the key elements which are necessary for a community to function smoothly as well as the calendar for its development.  Those who would like to make the decision to join will be able to submit a formal application(which should be approved quite quickly).   

 

The emphasis at this meeting will be on practical aspects as well as sharing ideas and having fun.  We should also get out and do some physical activities and there will be plenty of preparation to do in the garden!  Please bring your spades/forks and any other useful tools you can carry.

Regarding the cost of staying at the chateau: 

Please let me know what arrangement you can afford.  We should be able to offer yurt camping options, dormitory style so please check if you are interested in this option.  Regarding food, we will buy and cook communally.

The travel date from the UK is Monday 27th February and there will most likely be lift shares to the chateau.  If you would like to fly, please see all the options on my Chateau Adventure website (http://www.chateau-adventure.com/gettingthere.htm), then you can either hire a car or catch the train to Brive la Gaillarde where you can catch the local bus to St Privat from the train station or hire a car.  The minimum stay is 3 nights but some people will be staying for 2 weeks or longer – you may stay as long as you wish (depending on the outcome, forever, in fact! Ha ha!).  

Contact Us

Please let me know if you are interested in being in this first core group.  The ability to join fairly soon is required as we plan to have the project well on the way by the summer.  If you cannot make it to this meeting, please send me a reply with the dates you could come and your level of interest in joining.  For the Expression of Interest Form – see link below to download.
