>> Pointless Picnics are to be held every Sunday at Midday, providing
>> the weather is fine. They offer an opportunity to get away from the
>> consumer work ethic.
>> Tell your friends to tell their friends and come along to share your
>> food, play music and games or just relax.
>>
>> There is no reason for the picnics they're just something you don't
>> have to think about, enjoy them, they're fun.
>>
>> The time of 12 noon (local) has been arranged to avoid the need for
>> organisation. Everyone is welcome and don't forget..... it's just a
>> Global Picnic!
>>
>> The idea behind the picnics is to give us the
>> opportunity to meet up with like minded people and
>> feel less isolated. If all goes well, one day you may
>> be able to walk into any town at noon on a Sunday, go
>> to the local picnic spot and meet up with a lot of
>> folk with ideas for a peaceful future!
>>
>> Yes... And
>> relax a while too.
>>
>> This is a movement that has no vertebrae - because of this it is
>> powerful and effective,
>> there is no structure other than what YOU are motivated to do.
>>
>> Its is an idea that is carried in the wind, trusting the process of
>> life. Like the oak tree sleeping inside of every acorn, just waiting
>> for the environment to be amenable to its awakening.
>>
>> Our lifetimes are very short in the face of existence - we will not
>> see all the fruits of our actions, but we are witnessing the
>> fruits of the seeds planted by those who came before us - relax,
>> serve life and trust in the universal wisdom - step back take a ten
>> thousand year view and see how quickly we are evolving

>> Quotes by John Harding initiator of "pointless picnics"
>>
>> "Yes the picnic idea is still very close to my heart and on
>> Sundays if the weather is fine you may find me picnicking somewhere."
>>
>>
>> "Hopefully picnics will be worldwide
>> and easy to find just by talking to friends."
>>
>> "The picnics are also pointless, not in one place and with no
>> agenda apart from sharing food in peace. I like pointlessness,
>> constantly searching for reasons and solutions is tiresome and
>> unrewarding."
>>
>> "The idea of having no agenda, no speeches, no fixed meeting
>> point, no organisational structure and no money involved does prevent
>> this type of event being usurped by political groups with hidden
>> agendas, it also keeps things understandable, if someone tells you
>> the
>> picnic is for any purpose other than sharing ones food in peace they
>> do not understand the picnic concept."
>>
>> "We need to be constantly monitoring our environment and adopting
>> the most
>> efficient responses in order to conserve our energies and retain our
>> freedom to think."
>>
>> "The weekly Sunday picnics could prove to be very
>> strong, they provide a method of networking which does
>> not rely on technology".
>>
>> "People NEED to talk, to discuss, to communicate face to face,
>> allow our 'auras' to mix, create new philosophy"
>>
>> We don't wear labels Its called the pointless picnic.
>> Spread the word!
