(Conference Festival)
Tribute Web Site
Disclaimer
Please
note that this is a tribute web site to ConFest, a 'Conference
Festival' gathering event phenomenon which has historical origins in
Australia when the first 'Down to Earth' festival which was founded and
instigated by Dr Jim Cairns in 1976.
The first 'Down to Earth' festival was established through the "DOWN TO EARTH" trust, with a joining fee of $1 (AUD).
The views, opinions and links in this site are *not* those of the Down to Earth (Victoria) Co-operative Society Limited [DTE],
in Australia, which is an incorporated Non-profit co-operative,
registered in 1977, in the State of Victoria, Australia, that emerged
'out of' and 'after' the first "Down To Earth" festival in 1976, which
became the primary organisation responsible for organising later
'Conference Festival' gathering events called ConFest, to the current
day.
However, this tribute web site is established in support
of Conference Festival (ConFest) events staged by the Down to Earth
(Victoria) Co-operative Society Limited, and acknowledges with highest
praise, the late Dr Jim Cairns' intstrumental role in founding, the
first "Down To Earth" festival in Dec 1976, called:
"Down to Earth: A Shaping of Alternatives";
Therefore, please do not confuse, or associate, the views of the
tribute web site to those of the current Down to Earth (Victoria)
Co-operative Society Limited, or Dr Jim Cairns's original organising
group, which formed the "DOWN TO EARTH" trust.
All these three bodies are seperate and independent from each other.
