<a name="13011b4774008899_What_is_a_Barn_Camp.3F"></a><h3> <span> What is a Barn Camp? </span></h3>
<p>Well we just made it up 'cos it sounds cool. But the name has its roots in the <a href="http://barcamp.org/w/page/36866794/HacktionLab-BarnCamp-2011" title="http://barcamp.org/w/page/36866794/HacktionLab-BarnCamp-2011" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bar Camp</a> concept. What is a Bar Camp? Well, if you visit <a href="http://www.barcamp.org/" title="http://www.barcamp.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.barcamp.org</a>, it'll tell you that it:
</p>
<ul><li>is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment.
</li><li>is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants who are the main actors of the event.
</li></ul>
<p>So, it's the same - only it's happening in a Barn - yes a real Barn -
on a farm. Anyway the focus is
on a healthy take on technology, both new media and alternative, with a
mix of free software, alternative use of technology for activism and
general fun in the sun workshops.</p><p>BarnCamp is taking place over three days, the <b>10th, 11th and 12th June 2011</b> at <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/Highbury_Farm" title="Highbury Farm" target="_blank">Highbury Farm</a> in the Wye Valley.

<a name="13011b4774008899_Cost_and_paying_for_BarnCamp"></a><h2> <span> Cost and paying for BarnCamp</span></h2>
<p>This year we have fixed the cost at <b>£30</b> for advanced bookings for the whole weekend, including all workshops, up to four night's camping and nine meals. This rises to <b>£35</b>
if you decide to pay on the gate. The amount helps to cover a few
additional costs for transport of equipment (and tolls for Severn
Bridge) and planning. The last two years we were able to be able to make
an additional donation to <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/Highbury_Farm" title="Highbury Farm" target="_blank">Highbury Farm</a> from the donations received and we hope to do so again. Left over funds are kept in the <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/HacktionLab_pot" title="HacktionLab pot" target="_blank">HacktionLab pot</a> for running future events, workshops and publications.
</p><p>If that sounds good then please book your place now by visiting <a href="http://registration.hacktivista.net/" title="http://registration.hacktivista.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://registration.hacktivista.net/</a> and if you have any questions, please get in touch with one of the organisers by emailing <b>barncamp2011 [at] hacktivista [dot] net</b>. <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/Paying_for_Barncamp" title="Paying for Barncamp" target="_blank">This page has more information about ways to pay for BarnCamp</a>.

<p>2011 will mark the fourth BarnCamp convergence at <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/Highbury_Farm" title="Highbury Farm" target="_blank">Highbury Farm</a>
in the Wye Valley (Wales) where people interested and/or working in the
areas of alternative media, renewable energy, on-line video
distribution, free software and any other form of activism that utilises
technology came together to share and discuss. Based on feedback from
the previous years, we are we are deliberately continuing to keep this
year's camp less geeky than in 2008 and 2009 by having a more open range
of workshops and open space sessions, but we are also inserting an
extra day to allow for more, longer workshops - some of which might be
geeky! Hopefully everyone's satisfied! :P Check-out what we got up to in
<a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/HacktionLab_2008/01" title="HacktionLab 2008/01" target="_blank">2008</a>, <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/HacktionLab_2009/01" title="HacktionLab 2009/01" target="_blank">2009</a> and <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/BarnCamp_2010" title="BarnCamp 2010" target="_blank">2010</a>.
</p><p>The original idea for the gathering came from a number of years
of experience gained by activists working for organisations such as
Indymedia and includes specific experience from involvement in the
Horizone Eco-Village in Stirling (2005), the Camps for Climate Action in
Drax (2006), Heathrow (2007) and Kingsnorth (2008) as well as the No
Borders camp at Gatwick (2007).

<p>Kids are most welcome to come to BarnCamp and you do not need to pay

<a name="13011b4774008899_Animals"></a><h2> <span> Animals </span></h2>
<p>Since <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/Highbury_Farm" title="Highbury Farm" target="_blank">Highbury Farm</a> is a working farm, unfortunately we have to ask that you not to bring animals on site. Thank you.
</p>
<a name="13011b4774008899_Entertainment"></a><h2> <span> Entertainment </span></h2>
<p>Evening entertainment will include fireside acoustic sessions, live
music, some open mic poetry and music, film screenings and refreshments.
</p>
<a name="13011b4774008899_Food_.26_drink"></a><h2> <span> Food & drink </span></h2>
<p>There will be food and drink provided during BarnCamp. <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/Highbury_Farm" title="Highbury Farm" target="_blank">Highbury Farm</a>
is a pretty much a vegan farm and the food will be primarily vegan with
some additions, such as milk, and eggs as an option for breakfast. <a href="http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/Highbury_Farm" title="Highbury Farm" target="_blank">Highbury Farm</a>
requests that meat is not brought or cooked on site; so please don't,
thanks. There is an excellent pub (the Boat Inn) across the valley
within walking distance that serves fine ales and ciders and also serves
meat dishes for those who cannot do without.
</p><p>Tea, coffee and infusions will be provided within the cost of
attending. We hope also to have local organic (we will attempt to get
vegan) ale and cyder available at a very reasonable price, and also
fruit juices.
