A motion is a shape shifter and can be many
things. It can be is the solution to a problem faced by
the DF movement, or it can also be more of an instruction
to Committee to do something different and/or better. Anyone can
bring a motion to Althing, where every single DF present can have the opportunity to
voice their opinions on the motion.
Often motions are ammended before theyre debated. If you feel a motion is
nearly right you can ammend it. A motion can be ammended by anyone (including the
origional author) to make it better in the eyes of the ammender! After a motion has
been sufficiently debated, the motion is voted on.
All motions require a 50% majority for it to pass, unless the motion is ammending
the DF Constitution, in which case it needs 66% of the vote, also taking into account
any abstentions.
A musing is different to a motion. A motion allows
the person proposing the motion to propose the solution.
But often a solution is not easily found. Without the solution, there is
no motion.
A musing gives us the opportunity to bring a problem or issue to the floor of Alth
ing and let a solution rise from the debate and discussion. A musing could be brought
as a question or a statement or really, in any way at all. Why not devise a short sketch to
illustrate your musing? A discussion about the musing may bring about a solution and a
motion could be written from the floor and voted on. Or, it might be a useful way of in
structing the next committee and council to do something or to work on something
further.
Welcome to Althing, the absolute heart of
DF democracy. The place where all manner of
things Great and small are discussed, where
ideas become reality and where we choose the
next generation of DF committees.
Here are some things you can do while you are
here:
Think you have an idea that would improve the movement? Suggest a motion
Have a problem you want to discuss? Suggest a musing
Feel strongly about an issue? Talk on a motion
Want to discuss solutions to a problem Take part in open space discussion
Want to get more involved in how DFs works Stand for election

Its wonderfully impossible to sum up a year of District Fellows in a few short sentences. For me this
year has been about seeing the massive variety of different approaches people have to being a DF, but also
the links between these ideas, discovering the core DNA of Dfs, if you will. Where past years have seen
huge leaps forward in terms of branding and publicity, this year weve spent a lot of time trying to rees
tablish what Dfs stands for, what we do and who we want to be. We started realtime coverage of Dfs at the
tuition fee and EMA protests, which then morphed into a hugely successful Kettled Generation blog on the
Woodcraft website, gaining national press coverage. This for me was a really great example of how the na
tional connections we have established as Dfs can become incredibly useful in terms of sharing skills, infor
mation and ideas when our core values of Education for Social Change are under threat. Consequent work
on sexism, queer rights and inclusion was tough but important and timely, as was our continued work on
safeguarding and making Things accessible. Each of our three Things this year was a joy to be part of, from
the icy depths of Midlands, through the gorgeous hills of Scotland to the sunny pastures of the South West,
they worked as a great balance between important discussions, meeting regions and making friends. Weve
created some brilliant resources: The A to Z of Good Discussion, The Transition Pack, The Mestup Zine,
Putting and End to Boys Will be Boys, Archivethatworld.com and of course three totally amazing DF Zines.
Weve had minithings at every event and a hugely successful introduction session at CoCamp, where I got
to ask around 200 DFage campers How many poos have you had on camp? during a speed dating session,
a definite highlight. All in all I wouldnt pretend that there have not been some serious challenges this year,
but it has also been amazing fun and weve had a really wonderful set of people surrounding and helping us.
It makes me really rather sad to say goodbye to all this, but Im also full of excitement about what you, the
next generation of Dfs, will make of this movement. Good luck!
Heres what we have so far:
!" the best ever spanthatworldwithmusic
!" had a mini thing at every DF event
!" elected a nature person
!" Scottish thing
!" the DF lounge at CoCamp (is it a lounge?)
!" Huge Ideas Pot II

Elections
DFs is intensely democratic. Every year we elect DFs to certain roles in the movement. You can ei
ther stand yourself for election or nominate somebody else who you think would be good. To Stand
or nominate somebody all you need to do is talk to one of the chairs. At Althing every candidate par
ticipates in hustings which is essentially a Q&A with everyone else there starting off with a short
speech.
Here is a list of all the roles available for election this year. If you have any questions about any of
the roles why not ask one of the chairs. Note that some roles (such as Vice Chair and Events) are
decided at Old/New once all of DF Committee has been elected that is why there are several Lay
member posts for people who will probably take on specific roles at Old/New.

What does being on regional council involve?
Regional reps have the task of facilitating DF activity regionally, funnily enough. But this role has many other aspects
to it. For example, facilitating or organising Spanthatworldwithmusic, forming committees for the region, and attending
regional councils and organising Things. Its much easier to coordinate things locally but acting as a messenger is
also important to make sure DFs in your region know about stuff they can get involved with and important dates for their
diary. Also getting involved with the regional council is important as well in this role to get more in touch with Woodcraft
Folk regionally. Being regional rep is a really valuable thing to do, so go for it!
.% +'(("55##
Role Length of Role
Lay member 2 Years
Lay members are elected at althing and then stand for one of the roles not elected at Althing at an event called Old/New
a few weeks later.
Campaigns Rep 2 Years
The Campaigns Rep should be a person who can help faciliate peoples actions based on the movements campaigns.
They should also try to provide oppurtunitys Dfs to learn about the campaigns so that they are aware of the issues
involved in the campaigns.
Communications Rep 2 Years
The communications rep is about communicating things within DFs, although you dont need to know a lot about website
maagement, you will need to write for it, It is a role fore someone who is interested in design and writing.
Fundraiser 2 Years
Fundraising Rep has a few key responsibilities. One of the key ones is making sure that DFs has enough money to run
all its events and projects. While the Treasurer deals more with managing money DFs raise internally (ie. In camp costs
etc.), the Fundraising Rep deals with getting funding from the wider Woodcraft Folk or outside the movement. This
means stuff like TREE, or big funds, like the National Lottery or Coop Regional Grants. As well as this, the Fundraising
Rep coordinates any nationwide fundraising activities.
Treasurer 2 Years
The Treasurer is responsible for all financial matters involving DFs including:
Making sure money is collected at events, Paying invoices, Compiling financial returns, Writing the Annual Budget and
individual event budgets, Keeping the books, Writing/updating policies on financial issues.
DF Committee roles not decided at Althing:
Role Decided?
Chair of Regional Council By Regional Council
As chair of regional council you will need to facilitate communication between the regional developers and spearhead
regional developement as a whole.
Chair of DF Committee Old/New
Chair in my eyes in almost solely a facilitation role. . Facilitating discussions at meetings, facilitating input from as many
different Dfs as possible; making the decision making element of Dfs as welcoming, inclusive and democratic as can
be. There are also a lot of times when a chair needs to provide support for members of CTTE that may be struggling, to
deal with important or difficult matters which have arisen and liaise with staff at Woodcraft HQ or members of General
Council. You will also often find yourself as the first point of contact for a variety of queries, along with a person people
will turn to in order to relay or spread information. Theres usually quite a bit of website work, plenty of phone calls and
pestering, and time put into the planning of Things and Althing. Ultimately you are a conduit and a connecting point for a
whole glorious collective of ideas, debates and people.
Events Rep Old/New
Events rep involves finding and supporting coordinators for events and making sure they go as well as possible. It also
involves procedure on events and how they are run including things such as pricing and safeguarding. It is also the duty
of the events rep to work alongside other members of ctte to make sure that their area of work is displayed at events.
Secretary of The Movement Old/New
Secretary involves making minutes for meetings, knowing the constiution, helping with administration and generally
keeping everything on the business side of DFs neat, accesible and documented.
International Opportunities Officer Old/New
A big part of being international rep involves making people aware of all the opportunities that are available to them
through the IFM SEI. Organising the WWOOFing trip/s can also be a big part of being international rep, although you can
delegate the job of co ordinating the trip to someone else once youve made the initial contact with the people involved.
Other things that international reps have done is raise money to bring international delegations (in this case a refugee
delegation) to a Woodcraft or DF event.
Vice Chair of DF Committee Old/New
This is a role which you can make your own. There are a few things expected of you jointly facilitating things, minithings
and Althing with others in the chairing team. Other expectation include supporting committee members in what they are
doing and jumping in to take on responsibility when tasks arise that dont fit perfectly into the roles of others.
Training Rep Old/New
As training rep it is your responsibility to provide training for the rest of the DF movement, as the name of the role sug
gests. The only mandatory piece of training that needs to take place each year is first aid training as we always need
more first aiders, also it is your job to find out what people want and need training for and provide that for them either at
another event or at a time that is convenient.
Projects rep Old/New
Well, in theory world, this should be a role thats job it is to bring together all the different people spearheading all the dif
ferent projects to help them and create a cohesive set of projects for DFS to run and get involved in.
Affiliations rep
Its your responsibility to forge links with other organisations and strengthen already built ones. You are expected to in
vite them to events, find out about their events and now to run our own affiliations event. Blank Canvas is extremely excit
ing and as affiliations rep you will be making this excitement a reality. You need to be good at talking, emailing and calling.
Shadow treasurer Old/New
Shadow Treasurer involves learning how to keep DF accounts in order to take on the role of treasurer.
Non committee roles:
Venturer Committee liason 1 year
working with Jack Brown (general council rep to vctte) to support the venturer committee
organising the logistics of the meetings; like the venue, dates, and making sure everyones okay to get there
helping venturers facilitate their own meetings
making sure things get done efficiently and that the committee functions well as a group, gets things done in and out of
meetings, has some aims, and progresses.
being a link between venturer committee and DFs
Zine editor 1 year
The role obviously involves designing pages and graphics, putting together pages and getting the thing into the format
printers need. It isa bit of a crash course in photoshop and other creative software. The role also involves running work
shops at events to create content. Another crucial part of the role; communicating the need for subscription well, moti
vating people and giving them structure and ideas as well as creative freedom. Ideas, organisation, good communication
and motivation are as crucial as creative talent.
Workers beer rep 1 year
This role involves organising the DF presence at festival bars through Workers Beer and is extremely important in terms
of DF fundraising.
Committee
Reports
Joel - Chair of Committee
Here is a list of thing Committee have helped work on this year, which I by no means attribute to me
alone but which have been the main focus of my time: A hugely successful spanthatworldwithmusic, raised
more than enough money to help Stanley District bring a family of refugees to cocamp, had a mini thing
at every DF event, Scottish thing, The DF Centre, Huge Ideas Pot II, Written new policies for payments,
the age range, a fabulous spring awakening, Sorted out that the Grey area in terms of age, Midlands thing,
worked on our safeguarding, lots of work against sexism, South West Thing, Lots of successful Wwwoof
ing trips, Helped involve LFs at CoCamp, started Archivethatworld.com, had the nrst LVLR spanthat
worldwithcostume, the nrst LVLR double winter wonderland, the LF transition pack, the 'Boys will be
Boys' workshop pack, Iantastic work to put the 'district' back in 'district Iellows', The A to Z oI Cood
Liscussion, set up the LF buddy system, helped organise and agitate Ior incredibly wellattended anticuts
protests involving Woodies
Alec - Events rep
I have supported event coordinators when they have needed help, written articles looking for coordina
tors. done some design and writing to promote the split WWs.I have researched the Idea of a festival next
year, set up egroup but had little interest from potential coordinators. Helped out in a couple of working
groups and tried to give support on the South WW as a committee presence. I have run a couple of work
shops on events but in my mind I have not communicated with other members of ctte enough and I have
had a lot of trouble with this years WW.
Kezia - Campaigns rep
This year, as campaigns rep, Id say the main thing and the most excellent thing which has happened was
the begininng oI the LF Library, with lots oI help Irom Ben Raw (it was his idea and everything). The
Library was set up to help the right to reIuge campaign, a similar nonwoodcraIt campaign is the simple
acts campaign: doing a simple act to help our understanding and tolerance of refugees and asylum seekers ,
suggests reading a book or watching a nlm about reIugees". The LF Library is to help achieve this, it has
a collection of books and a dvd which were taken to df events this year for DFs to borrow, or they could
request them and the book or dvd could be posted.
I have also run a workshop at winter wonderland, helped trial the buddysystem" Irom last althing's mus
ing, helped crate a blog for SpanThatWorldWithCostume, made lots of animal hats and created instruc
tions for you all to make them.
Martha - International rep
Because I came onto committee to nll a role that I hadn't actually stood Ior, a lot oI the stuB I've
done this year hasnt been to do with International opportunities, so I guess looking back my role
was more like international opportunities/lay member.
Heres a list anyway:
Started oB the organisation oI various wwoonng trips and advertise international opportunities
wrote stuB Ior the transitions pack and the international women's day group night activities pack
helped run workshops on sexism and wrote an article about the gentlemens club
helped with saIeguarding stuB
Started a working group and website section to get DFs more involved in districts
!"#$%&'(')*+%",%-./'
This year I have been getting to grips with what it means to be on DF Committee. Ive discovered how
diBcult it is to put ideas into practise and how easily things get pushed later and later. However, I Ieel like
I'm getting to grips with it now and can really be on top oI it Ior my second year as aBliations rep. I've
been trying to do my job like I said I would; by getting other people to do it. Delegation is the key! My aim
is to make this happen Ior Blank Canvas in Lecember, so watch this space!
Specincally I have amongst other things led Blank Canvas workshops and discussions, attempted to get
organisations to DF events, kept my ear to the ground and my pen to the paper about other organisations,
brought the aBliations wall to every LF event and doubled the contacts in the aBliations database.
Samir - Fundraising rep
This year has been an excellent and exciting experience for me as a DF and a new member of DF Commit
tee. I've made it my aim to extend the remit oI the role to also Iocus on the Iunding oI stuB. It shouldn't all
be about getting an extra ooo Ior the LF movement", especially at these times oI quite well endowed
LF Iunds. So here's some stuB that I did/was involved in:
DF delegation to CoCamp, the rst ever Fundraising Weekend! Huge Ideas Pot 2.
NEXT YEAR promotion of PROJECT FUND APPLICATIONS (like the Huge Ideas Pot but its run all year
round and its DF funds not TREEs money) and a second year for the FUNDRAISING WEEKEND. A focus too
on using DF funds and fundraising to strengthen the Woodcra Folk, locally and nationally.
Anna - Training rep
Came into role late on in the year so haven't got a very long list at all
Attended south west thing
Attended cocamp as a ctte presence
Attended LI camp, took part in mini thing
Rearranged the skills Iorm that Ilya started
Started a list oI things people want training Ior Ior next dI year
Committee
Reports
David - Treasurer
I've been paying money in and out and keeping track oI it, I also wrote the o/
Annual Budget and written the Lxpenses and Fairer Fare policy. I've also been
chasing up the people who owe money Ior previous events (with some success)
Freya - Regions rep
The things Ive done as chair of regional council are mostly all about communication. Like
organising reg.council skype conversations and minuting them, having phone calls with other
regional reps, and communicating with Rose when she was the Regional Levelopment OBcer. I
Iacilitated a Iew agenda items at Things and went to that Blank Canvas meeting.

Keiran - Vice Chair
Its hard to say what Ive done exactly with this role this year. For one thing, CoCamp took over a lot of
my time this summer! Broadly I've tried to support members oI committee in doing what they have been
doing. I've chipped in where I Ieel I can - helping us to create better saIeguarding procedures, helping
Lavid and Saul with nnancial matters, creating policies where none had existed beIore and helping others
in other ways. On top oI this, I've been working hard with ]oel to develop the way we do LF democracy.
There has been a great progression in this regard I feel. More people facilitating, more people coming to
Things, and a more inclusive approach to consensus in our meetings. Fabulous.
Sarah - Projects rep
MESTUP Set up and ran two mestup training sessions on peer education and mediation with zz LFs
\ROTL THL BLST ZIL LVLR \ITH THL MLST\P TLAM.
Ran a mestup tent at cocamp and set up a project handover ever in the world so that the

PARTY not much, but ultra thanks to hebden boys Ior secretly running party at cocamp anyone who
wants to take party to new levels under the project banner ]\ST LO IT!
RAINBOW observed carly Irom aIar doing cool things internationally with rainbow.
Hannah - Communications rep
Sadly I havent been fully committed to communications due to a number of reasons,
which is such a shame and I apologise profusely because I really feel like I have let DFs
down because of this. I have done a few little things this year, mainly involving design and layout for
various publications. The big one I Iocused on was the 'LF Transitions Booklet', I hope you all enjoyed
it and perhaps some of you have found entering into the DF World a little easier because of it. Some of
you might have noticed the website changing bitbybit this year, there is still a lot to do but I think you'll
agree it's looking FAB, i'd like to say a big thanks to ]oe, ]oel, Magico and Phin (along with everyone else
who has inputted) because they are
AMAZIC.
Joe - Midlands rep
The midlands was home to the nrst thing oI
the year, it was incredibly productive and the
Iood was exellent (as well as massively under
budget, thanks to a lot of skipping .
Saskia - North West rep
The orth Last is slowly building up an interest in the LF
movement, and we have attracted through a small but
successful STTWM and a slightly bigger and even bet
ter STWWC barbeque. My focus has been on getting
local DFs interested in helping with younger groups and
local/regional events and encouraging them to come to
national DF events, but Ive been less successful with the
second part.
I hope that L LFs can spend the next year being instru
mental in organising the summer camp thats planned for next
year between the northern/scottish regions, supporting two of the
new local groups, having their own social event for a weekend and
coming to national events, starting with Winter Wonderland and
Things.
Freya - Welsh rep
Being welsh rep started with coordinating \elsh Thing and Iol
lowed with a lot more events
coordination. Such as STWWMs and a STWWC, fundraising
things like the AmnesTea Party and
bagpacking in coop, a LF gathering in \ales last sum
mer and this month a mini homemade welsh
thing". I got us a ,ooo grant and some LF pages in
Byd Cwerin. I've created and run Aberystwyth
DF group. Weve set up a Wales DF Committee. Im
on Welsh Council as DF rep.
Regional council
reports
KT - South West rep
The South West region in DFs is still very large with several groups running strong. I have
been successIul in recruiting new LFs around the Bristol area and encouraging new and
existing DFs to go to national events.
South West Thing had a generally good and varied turn out and was a fun event with lots
of sunshine, walks and discussions.
I also organised Span That \orld with Music in Bristol which was a huge success bringing
in z6 Ior the Stanley Cocamp delegation.
In terms of wider woodcraft in the South West, I attended the South West AGM last Spring
and was elected to the S\A (South \est Area etwork) committee.
ext year i would like to stay doing this role as I Ieel I have come so Iar but have so much still to do in
terms of encouraging South West DF activity
Bridget - Scottish rep
In DF terms Scotland is well its Scotland and its still quite far away from the goings on and hubbub of
\oodcraIt Iolk liIe. \e remain small but strong and despite eBorts to expand the Scottish wide
network beyond Ldinburgh and Clasgow only a Iew dedicated remain. There are a lot oI
young and eager venturers coming up from below though so we can only hope theyll carry
the torch forward and highlight their potential! In spring Scottish Thing marked a land
mark in the LF calender and skewed the average event score geographically to the orth
for once. It was a positive event in many ways with walks in the sunshine and constructive
meetings but many people left thinking if only we could have had more business to do!
shame! Span That World with Music will hopefully occur again this year after the fundrais
ing success of the previous one. Scotland had a presence at CoCamp and continues to grow
in some ways and sadly shrink in others, but so does the rest of Woodcraft!

Holly - North East rep
This year the orth\est has remained a strong region, thanks to the brilliant
district groups keeping things going. Weve contributed with enthusiasm to each
DF event, including Span that world with costume and span that world with
music, spreading the DF word and raising money towards CoCamp and other
organisations. BradIord still remains involved with BIASA, a sup
port organisation for local refugees and asylum seekers, and their
SPWWM ceilidh helped raise money for the organisation as well
as spread the woodie word.
Although eBorts to create new LF districts and revamp old
ones have been not massively successful, I see this as an ongo
ing project and havent given up hope!
There have been a big bunch oI \ers at most Things
this year, and a few of them were responsible for the fantastic
DF camp this summer!
Imogen - Eastern rep
Being eastern rep this year I've Iocused on creating
a greater link with DF s and local groups, admit
tedly doing this better in orwich. which is
where Im based. At the moment Im trying to
work out how best we can support DF s who
want to volunteer in local Woodcraft Folk and
those who already do. Ive kinda had my hands
full this year so havent really managed to do
much else, but I would always stress the impor
tance of helping out with groups and districts.
Adam - London rep
My year as London DF rep has been a busy one while in the role I
have been building on communication between London DFs by the
use of Facebook and email which I hope to be able to transfer to
the next London Rep.
By using my communication networks I have
been promoting events, helping adults and GC contact
the DFs they need too.
I have also tried to make myself known to as many
London Woodcrafters as possible as a source of help
fulness and knowledge. I also try to represent Lon
dons views and I have been promoting working in local
districts.I also ran STWWM London but I regret it was the
only event I organized this year.

Pat - South East rep
It's been an exciting year, and it's gone really quickly. Aside Irom helping to arrange Iun stuB
(such as various music events) and getting to know/corresponding with cool people, I've
aimed to strengthen ties between South Last LFs and wider woodcraIt. In this vein, I've
been coopted on to SL regional council and gained a voice Ior the South Last LF Rep in
South Last ews.
I havent been able to do everything I wanted to do, but Ive really enjoyed my time. And
Im sure whoever takes on the role next year will do an amazing job, and Im always here to
help whoever is successIul at Althing"
