 Banner Painters needed.

The Wellington Young Greens are painting some banners to donate to other Green Party campus groups around the country and on Tuesday 27 January will be having a 'banners and beer' evening and we hope you can help us. Join us from 6pm to paint some banners (no skills necessary), have as few drinks (BYO), and listen to some music. Bring old clothes or we have over-suits to save your clothes.

Young Greens Summer Camp this Waitangi Weekend (6-7 February) at Jeanette Fitzsimon's farm in the Corromandel.

With the General Election all over and done with its time to take stock, celebrate our successes and great campaign and also plan for the future.

Over Waitangi Weekend 2009 young Green Party members (up to 30 years of age) from over Aotearoa are going to camp together at Jeanette's farm to plan the upcoming Young Greens year. Early in 2008, 35 Young Greens had a great time at the first camp and in 2009, we want to make it bigger with more events and more fun. We are going to cram as much as we can into two and a half days. We are going to have our Annual General Meeting and elect officials; decide on our priority campaigns; discuss how the election went; and workshops facilitated by Young Green members...and also hang out with Jeanette, watch some films, connect with nature, camp in the orchard and swim in the watering hole.

We have an awesome schedule of workshops planned – on economic issues, Transition Towns, open source software, the Global Young Greens, Youtubeing, effective campaign communication and public relations tricks and tips, social media campaigning, running campus groups – and new MP Catherine Delahunty and Co-Leader Jeanette Fitzsimons will also be there.

A summer weekend of good green fun!

There is no registration cost at this time (we are looking for a donor to provide food costs…know anyone?) and we are planning to coordinate car sharing vehicles.

The times will be:

§         Arrive Thursday afternoon/night - 5 February

§         Workshops Friday - 6 February (Waitangi Day)

§         Workshops and AGM - Saturday 7 February

§         Depart Sunday morning 8 February.

We hope that you can make it. Please pass on to anyone who may be interested. if you have any questions or would like a registration form (deadline end of the week) contact Gareth Hughes on hughes.gareth@gmail.com
