Camp Frack
Weekend of 17th-18th September
Put this date in your diary now!
Join the resistance to the “fracking” invasion! Stop the massive expansion of shale gas extraction in the UK! We need renewables - not another source of fossil fuel!
Location info: Camp Frack will be at Manor Farm near Hesketh Bank village close to where the current drilling operations are taking place. Hesketh Bank is South of the River Ribble near Southport, but easiest to access by getting the train to Preston and catching the number 2 bus to Shore Road/Chapel Road bus stop (cost £3.40 single, timetable here). From there, it's a few minutes walk to the site of the camp from the bus stop. See map here. The camp is organised with the landowner's permission.
The camp is free but donations welcomed. Vegan food will be available at cost. Parking is limited on site so please use bus and train or park elsewhere. If there is a pressing need for you to drive to the camp please let us know so we can see if a space can be arranged.
New: There is a coach organised from London, leaving at 7:00pm on Friday 16th September and returning at 11:00pm on Sunday 18th September. Tickets are limited and available on a first-come-first-served basis. THE DEADLINE FOR BUYING TICKETS IS 12.00 NOON THIS FRIDAY 9th. The cost is £32 per person. For more information, and to buy tickets, click here.
The camp will include a day of workshops on shale gas, and on planning an ongoing national campaign against it. It will involve raising local awareness about the problems with shale gas and an action day of peaceful protest mainly focused on the nearby active drilling rig, but we also hope to have the option of expeditions to take the message out to Blackpool and Preston as well.
