>Hi
>
>As a contribution towards research and
>documentation of open space, Open Futures is
>pleased to announce that the story of a community
>event held in Nairn,the Scottish Highlands, on
>September 4, 2004 is included in SCOTLAND 2020, a
>book by DEMOS, the London based think tank.
>
>Launched last night in Edinburgh by George Reid,
>Presiding Officer, the Scottish Parliament before
>an audience of 120 invited guests, the open space
>event at Nairn was mentioned frequently.  In
>fact, the book acknowledges that "Nairn Day was
>the defining event of the project (to look at
>Scotland's future in 2020.)"
>
>The book also states that "Nairn Day was an
>experiment in local democracy that focused on
>participation rather than consultation ... The
>fact that over 70 people turned out to a meeting
>with no real agenda and certainly no influence
>over decision-making is, we think, evidence of an
>appetite for deliberation over long-term issues."
>
>If you are interested in obtaining a copy of this
>book (£10.00, ISBN 1 84180 138 0)which includes a
>chapter on the Nairn event facilitated by Eddie
>Palmer and Maggie Havergal, you can order the
>book from DEMOS by emailing <hello at demos.co.uk>
>
>Cheers
