Things are continuing to progress at the Hive, with the lower floor of
the office starting to become a cosy space thanks to a new rocket
stove heated bench! We've had several volunteers involved in crafting
this masterpiece, and look forward to having a new door for the
basement so that we can spend the chillier evenings inside being warm.
We are starting to put plans together for three periods of work on the
project next year - three weeks at a time with up to 6
volunteers. The work planned is biodiversity assessment in mid January,
topography in early February and construction in March. We hope to
get a lot of work done on both the office space and the end house of
the village for long term residents. So please get in touch if this
interests you.
Work continues in finding the funds for the January payment of 2000
euros - so far we have secured 50% of this payment plus 25% of our
running costs. We still have some way to go to reach the full amount
needed and as always, if you are able to help in any way, we would
welcome your support... Please get in touch as soon as possible if you
would like to be involved in this way.
Latest update is that in response to our post on the blog (
www.thehive-colmeal.blogspot.com) all previous ethical investors have
kindly offered more support to the project, (i.e., renewable energy
upgrade, a further 25% towards January payment & help with construction
costs for 2012.)
we a incredibly grateful for this support at this important time for us.
Looking forward to the New Year and the opportunities it brings.
Seasons greetings!!
