Hi Everyone,
****TICKETS HAVE SOLD OUT****
Unless you have already talked to us, you will not be able to purchase tickets, anymore. If you missed out, hopefully we'll seeya next year
****NewsFLASH 27/08/06****
Site goes online tonight www.common-ground.net
Workshop timetable is up - if you think you can help with any of the workshops (or even if you think you can run one!!) please let me know, I'd like to organise at least one person to run each, and a couple of supporters for the big ones.
****NewsFLASH 25/8/06****
Roll UP! Roll UP! Roll UP!
GET YOUR COMMON GROUND TICKETS ONLINE NOW!!
100 Online Tickets @ $20
Please email: common-ground2006@hotmail.com
for account details.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Common Ground.
K8 - and the Common Ground Team.
-----------------------------------
If you want to see how much Fun was had at Common Ground (or you just like to be reminded) check out this;
Common Ground 05
Everything else is unconfirmed as such - so if you can think of anything that might be relevant to a big group of spinners living together for 4 days let me know by PM.
The local CFS and Progress Association will be providing affordable meals for brekkie and dinner on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. The've been told that there will be many vegos - so each meal should be vego friendly, or have vego options.
****update**** The meals will be;
Breakfast on Saturday Sunday and Monday
;
Bacon + Egg between two pieces of toast or Egg + Tomato between two pieces of toast $4
and / or
Thick Pancakes for $1 each with Jam or Lemon and Sugar topping
and / or
Cereal for $2 a bowl (cornflakes or wheatbix)
Tea or Coffee for $1 / mug
Dinner on Friday night
will be a big pot of Pumpkin soup for a gold coin donation per mug full, with a few bread rolls n stuff
Dinner on Saturday night
Tacos with your choice of beef based or bean based filling and salad $2 each
and/or
a big Baked Potato with either of the above fillings and / or coleslaw n cheese $4 each
Dinner on Sunday night
Vege Burger or Minute-Steak Burger with salad $3
Beef snag in a piece of bread for $1
So yeah the CFS and Progress association are getting right behind it all, and I think the food and prices they are charging are quite reasonable
Please note - no lunch will be provided - you will need to sort this out yourself. There is a supermarket 5 minutes drive from the site tho - so it will be easy as.
We will be opening the site about lunch time on Friday the 29th of September and will be expecting to close the site for cleaning on Monday Afternoon (ie, everyone should be out by then). Between those times we will be expecting a lot of magic, learning and laughing with a huge group of friendly spinny / juggly types.
We will be following a similar structure to that we used last year - ie workshops, chill parties, fire spectacular show to which the local community will be invited (who LOVED the show last year btw), Drums n Bonfire - with the addition of a festival day with all day outdoor music, chilled out workshops and more.
checkout the timetable for the workshops;
www.common-ground.net/timetable.html
This year we will have improved toilet facilities (ie more of them) and improved camping.
The site is limited to about 150 ppl so pre-booking by bank transfer is the best way to confirm your space. we've had a steady series of ticket requests coming in, so if you want to come, dont dilly dally! Get your ticket now!
Seeya,
Josh

Righto Bender,
Your on for that set.
*Penned in* - What about that Homeless hobo workshop too
We are getting things organised. Should be similar to last years fun-o-rama.
Ticketing and the Schedule are a work in progress..
Remember there are plenty of opportunites to have your own workshop, so if you have any requests or special talents you would like to share with the rest of the Common Ground Folk, please let Myself or Josh know and we will see what we can do.
Thanks.

Contact without dance is like sex without wiggling.

if you do a talk and act like me workshop be sure to have natalli, lou, brett subsitute and russel subsitute to randomly run up and lick your nipples mid workshop otherwise you will only be giving workshopees half the experience.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

Pete your on - love the idea of a sideshow workshop.
Keep thinking of ideas. Sounds great.
Workshops will be approximately (max) 1.5 hours... (this is open to negotiation however).
Still discussing details... those of you in Adelaide we will have a meeting next week after people have recovered from the Unseelie party at Moota. So if you are keen to help out, stay tuned for details...
Hula hoop - would be good? Any people who are willing to teach? *nudges Ezz*
OK till next time, keep the ideas coming

I have a half hour hill rolling workshop lined up. I would go the full 1.5 hours but I think for most folks one run is probably enough. Pete perhaps we could run a combined hill rolling/glass rolling workshop? 
Oh.... im well excited too!
