Purchasing groups -> step 2

Eight months ago on Report I discovered the existence of gas.
Four months ago in It's' the right thing I found out what they are.
Today I gave my little contribution to the (perhaps) the creation of a new gas in my area.
Tonight I was (randomly and happily with my mother) at a meeting between some interested in joining a buying group in the area east Solidarity.
The first thing that struck me was the amount of people. I expected to be a dozen people and instead we were more than 40!
After an introduction by some guys gas Birula (really appreciated the work they are doing) we were divided into three groups and we have already laid the foundations to give birth to one of our microgas.
Beyond the considerations on gas, I must say that I really liked the dynamic of the encounter.
The thing that jumped over the eye is that "small is beautiful". It 'amazing how the mood of the event has changed since we were in forty people, all as a kind of stalls facing the slide projector and when we were in a smaller room, a dozen people all sitting around a table.
Especially I like the contact with people. The see, meet and talk with other people. Get in the game, sharing, giving, receiving and maybe make some sacrifice in favor of the collective group. It 'a social stuff that does not happen often.
Now let's see if it will work or not .. :)

Tomorrow night we gather at the home of a couple of our group, which if I remember correctly has three children, to celebrate the birth of Gas "The primroses."
Living at Carignano and we should formalize our first order to the supplier that some of us have identified and contacted.
I will tell you :-)))

perfect! People are trying to make a new gas in your area! I send you an email with details!
beyond the crisis, I believe that the gas (and all the initiatives "from below"), we again give over the management of our food, which does not appear, but it is one of the most important things for your body.
.. And then .. The organic stuff is usually a hundred times more good! :)
