PRESS RELEASE

Industrial Heritage 2007
Second European contact weekend for industrial heritage volunteers and
associations
Kortrijk - Zwevegem, 16-17-18 .11. 2007 (new dates)

E-FAITH, the European Federation of Associations of Industrial and
Technical Heritage is a young platform promoting contacts and co-
operation between non profit volunteer associations, the place where
those can meet, exchange experiences, learn from each other and
support each other's activities an campaigns.

After a succesfull first meeting last year in October, attended by
representatives from 11 countries, E-FAITH is now going to organize a
second European contact weekend for volunteers and non profit
organisations that are engaged in the research, the preservation, the
interpretation and/or the presentation of the industrial and technical
heritage.

It will again be an open and stimulating meeting where organisations
and individuals can present and compare their ideas, projects and
results - and find out where cooperation or common projects can grow,
how they can support the aims of colleagues and how colleagues can
support their objectives. This will be possible by lectures and oral
presentations, leaflets, information stands, posters and small
exhibits. Each participant is allowed to use the presentation
techniques that to him/her seems to be the most appropriate.
The main themes of the meeting will be:
- European bordercrossing cooperation between industrial and technical
heritage associations
- twinning between associations
- exchanging experiences from the field

This second contact weekend is organised on November 16th-18th in
Kortrijk and Zwevegem (Belgium). Both towns are situated on the French-
Belgian border, less than 30 km from Lille (France)

This second European Industrial and Technical Heritage Weekend will
take place in in the former electrical power station of Zwevegem
(protected by law and now being transformed into a multifunctional
cultural, music, meetings and business center) and in the National
Flax Museum in Kortrijk. The power station of Zwevegem holds turbo
generators and other machinery of Belgian, French, Swiss, Swedish,
Hungarian, etc. origin and offers a real 'European' story of
electricity production.
Participants will have the opportunity to visit the power station in
detail.
On Sunday November 18th there will be a facultative bus tour in the
region (25 euro, lunch included), visiting the flax heritage (e.g.
retting and scutching), windmills (oil and grain mill, and the last
flax scutching windmill of Europe recently restored by a volunteer
association), steam engines, etc.

Additional information on the Second European Industrial and Technical
Heritage Weekend is available and will be regularly updated

You have posted to a special newsgroup set up by
the the NuLabour Government to plug the gaps created by
the abysmal failure of the Psychiatric Care in the Community Policy.
which was implemented by the last Tory Government. This
policy was not only continued but also expanded by this
NuLabour Government.

The uk.local hierarchy was devised to provide an outlet for
individuals who would otherwise be spending their days sitting
at home wearing an aluminium foil hat waiting for a full moon
to rise. It was hoped that this would reduce the incidence
of nutters out there howling at the moon and frightening the
shit out of their neighbours. Another of HMGs aims and
objectives was to provide a distraction to take their minds
of the problem of who they were next going to knife to death.
Unfortunately, this group has been taken over by the
articulate lower middle classes who have succeeding in
driving HMGs target audience away. Independent research has
shown that it was the amount and quality of the inane drivel,
called small talk which the middle classes are adept at, which
had the effect of doing their heads in. They left to protect what
was left of their sanity. This has happened to the whole of uk.local.
hierarchy. This newsgroup in particular is a very good example
of another HMG failure

I trust this post will help guide you in your future dealings with this
newsgroup.

Thank you.
