I'm saddened by the loss of the amazing building we were hosted in for our National Hui in 2014.

It was such an achievement of community driven recycling culminating in a beautiful asset. Bruce Stewart welcomed many including us into this space personally from his wheel-chair, telling stories of the building's making.
While sorry that a firefighter was injured, I'm glad that the 19 fire appliances that attended managed to save the meeting house and that all the occupants escaped unharmed.
I look forward to hearing about the trusts plans to rebuild and hope they consider sustainable practices as Bruce did. In what way can the Permaculture community contribute?
