>>
>>  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!
