The beer came from Bartleby’s Brewery workers co-op, food was provided by Leeds Bread Co-op and Suma, the cooking was done by Co-op Culture. The campfire songbook, compiled through suggestions on the worker co-ops’ Loomio forum, got bigger again for 2019, coordinated by Delta-T Devices, and there was a very active and effective liftshare forum, which meant more time getting to know each other and making friendships.
The vibe at the Worker Co-op Weekend is relaxed, practical and DIY, with a sense that going for a walk and talk is probably just as useful as going to scheduled workshops – that is definitely the case when chopping veg or washing up while chatting to Mark Simmonds!
Getting out into the country is a key part of the attraction for many of us, and we took advantage of the setting by having Sunday’s workshops out on the grass in the sunshine. Camping and dorm accommodation options also makes it cheaper and the now traditional campfire was the biggest ever (gulp).
