The European Straw bale gathering 2011 will be hosted in the Cezch Republic this time round from the 23rd to 28th of August and is very much looked forward to by all.
The ESBG11 will take place in and around the rural homestead which is run as a demonstration and educational center for natural building by the NGO PermaLot. It is on the outskirts of a remote little Moravian village, Bouzov Podoli, near the castle of Bouzov and features two SB buildings and much more. Most of the activities will be in Bouzov Podoli and will happen in various large tents and one day for a conference, set-up in a nearby gymnasium. There will be organic food, much of which will be grown on the farm itself and accommodation will range in many levels, rom camping and dormitory in Bouzov Podoli, to nearby B&B's and hotels.
