Obviously, but how should it be stored and distributed?<br /><br />Security? Fire resilience?<br /><br />Fittingness of the structure within its wider environment?<br /><br />Make use of freely, naturally available materials within our command, and reclaimed, re-used, scavenged, recycled, and so on stuff that we can get our hands on? Or alternatively, take the opportunity to raise funds on the back of the publicity, and pay for a 'proper job' as a replacement?<br /><br />And no doubt plenty of other thoughts and ideas.<br /><br />We can't spend much time navel-gazing about this topic, we need to get on with it. I think that this challenge requires decisions to be made, that commit us to an action programme, within the next three months.<br /><br />I suggest that a core group of 'stakeholders' takes on this task, with a nominated co-ordinator, to report back, with decisions, to the wider interest group by end February 2012. That might give us the chance to engage in the building process next year, with something to show for our efforts by 4th November 2012.CompostJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229295186847153710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5928436572566983759.post-63283256843078394732011-11-05T18:21:52.692+00:002011-11-05T18:21:52.692+00:00Got a spare kettle.
