Logistics
Logistics Working Group
The Logistics working group is organising the nuts and bolts (and other non-mechanical parts) or the camp. Specifically, we're working on supplying electricity, water, marquees, sound equiptment, and all the other stuff that a camp usually needs. Don't worry. We haven't forgotten the gaffer tape.
If you want to get involved in the physical side of climate camp, The logistics working group is the place to start - and we'd love to have your help. Logistics meetings are fairly irregular at the moment, but don't let that stop you. Let us know you're interested and we'll let you know when and where the next meeting is.
If you want to get involved, contact Ned on 0417 484 735, or email logistics[AT]climatecamp.org.au
