Gift circle at the Riverside Festival on 7th June 2014 3pm

In the Moneyless Manifesto by Mark Boyle, I stumbled across ‘gift circles’ and we are going to give it a go at Riverside Festival on the 7th June 2014 at 3pm on the Bede Island by the Transition Leicester Marquee
Gift circles are an organisational format to facilitate gift giving and promote community. For more info on its structure have a look here > http://wiki.gifteconomy.org/Gift_Circle
We need people who are happy to share contact details with one another. We are happy generally speaking for those who do not want to participate to the circle to listen and watch!
Come directly on the Bede Island at the Transition Leicester and Green Light Marquee at 14:50
