Next meeting:

The Brattleboro Area Natural-building Group (BANG) will be meeting this Sunday, Dec.10th at 4pm in room 2 East of the Marlboro Tech Center (next to the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, which is across the street from the co-op). Mark and I will be bringing some videos that the group can choose from to watch and discuss:

• Building With Awareness: the Construction of a Hybrid Home
• Blue Vinyl
• Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh
• Radically Simple (Jim Merkel)
• Building Codes for a Small Planet (David Eisenberg)
• Hands on Straw Bale
• Basic Cordwood Masonry Techniques
• an old documentary on Yemen, not readily available, showing their construction techniques for the earthen skyscrapers they've been living in for many centuries - a friend made a copy for us after acquiring it in some obscure way

+ various things recorded off TV, including:
• an earth-sheltered rammed-earth house, cob (during construction), Wing's Castle (which Mark and I have visited)
• Subterranean Homes
• Extreme Homes Down Under
• etc...

Sorry about the short notice.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
Sarah
