ACCOMMODATION ARRANGEMENTS, Lovely past sunday meeting etc.

Let's start by patting ourself on the back for managing to expand the festival with more new artists, just as talented and nice (hopefully I'm not being presumptuous ;) as the once we already worked with last year. At least this was my feeling after our meeting previous Sunday.
Hopefully we can have another gathering before the show to catch up and also meet some people that couldn't make it.

Me, Joanna and Beth all live around East London and might be available if anyone is passing by and need to ask some questions.

SWEDEN ARRANGEMENTS: (Also see invitation letter posted on this blog further down.)

When to arrive? We have a private view at Fri. 13th of Juli!

As previously stated some artist might just need to come the day before, and some need more time to set things up. (Some artists, having mainly a video piece or doing site specific performance may even come just for the second week, due to problems getting of work or other engagements.)

ACCOMMODATION: Cottages located next to the Pumphouse Gallery.
The campsite listed (scroll down) is where most artists will be staying during The (deviant) Art Festival. Please try and make your own arrangements! We will of course assist you if you have any problems. BUT, because of the fact that we don't want to force everyone to arrive and leave at the exact same date, it is to much work to arrange all the cottages for everyone. The cottages are 2,4&5bed cottages, and are paid in whole, NOT BY BED!!! I.e If you are 3people in a 4bed cottage, you still pay for 4beds. TRY and use this blog to hook up with other people staying the same dates as you.
Since there is also a "Waterfall festival" in Trollhättan at the same time, don't wait for to long or the cottages might be fully booked.

CAMPSITE/TENTS: (Same location as cottages.)
Tents for 2-3 people can be bought in Trollhättan for 20-30pounds.
The tent slots usually not get fully booked and is a late alternative.

A hostel is also listed further down, but i am not to informed about this.

Ps. Bill Aitchison contacted the British Council and got the reply
that we should get in touch with Roger Budd, their representative in
Sweden as he will have approve the applications.
I got in touch with Roger and this was his reply.

"Dear Fred. Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to
help, because British Council Europe has undergone radical change this
year. All our work is now done on a regional, rather than a country,
level, which means we no longer have any in-country budget for
supporting initiatives like yours. The attached document explains a bit
more this new direction.
I know you will be disappointed by this news, but I do hope you manage
to secure funding elsewhere, and wish you every success with your
project.
Best
Roger

Roger Budd
Country Manager Sweden"
