Gday All,
I am beginning a permaculture garden 10 min outside the nimbin area on the lismore side. Overwhelmed by the immensity of undertaking such a task, ive often thought that an extra pair of hands could help. Consequently, im searching for a group of likeminded people that are interested in exchanging labour.
I figure the following guidelines might help to keep things equitable.
1 - A working bee is held once a month at someones property.
2 - Every time you help on someones property, you earn a point.
3 - The person with the most number of points earns the right to host the working bee and have people help out on their property the following month.
4 - After a working bee is held at the someones property, their points reset to zero, thereby allowing the next highest point holder on the list to host the next working bee. This way, the most helpful person is rewarded for their hard work.
5 - Although not compulsory, cups of tea and possibly a biscuit for morning tea could be offered by the host in gratitude for the incredible work done by the group.
This is an idea im putting forward to scope out to see if anybody out there is interested. At the moment, i have 3 people that are potentially on board...
Finally, A name for the group might make it sound official and legitimate... Creative names for the group would be very well received. Im thinking something along the lines of "Woolen Underpants In Summer Working Group" or "The Working Group of People Who Are Shamlessly Addicted to Golden Girls Reruns ". :) ...Maybe someone else should think of a name.
But seriously, what do you think?
