Welcome!

Welcome to the South West Alliance of Nomads. We are helping to make links and create better relationships and understanding among the Settled and Travelling communities thoughout the South West. If you are looking for stakeholders in your area, we can help. If you are a Gypsy, Irish Traveller, New Traveller, Bargee, Showman, or Circus Traveller looking to improve things, you've come to the right place.

The proposed changes to the RSS are now out for consultation. If you want a say, email Bob Deacon at the Government Office South West. The consultation lasts for 12 weeks but you need to put your opinion in in writing. Bob can help.

The Gypsy and Traveller Unit in London will be holding their next Stakeholder meeting in London on 11 August. If you can attend, please email /ring Sarah Thompson on 0207 944 3565. They pay expenses, but you have to fill in a form when you get there and it takes about 4 weeks. (To speed things up, bring your NI number and your bank details)

Our two DVD Movies are now complete! Thanks to Simon Evans of Open Productions and Tony Coll for their hard work! We did have the films here for viewing, but thesite has become so popular that we have exceeded our bandwidth! We have not been successful in obtaining any funding at all this year and so cannot afford to increase our bandwidth, so we had to take the films offline. Please see Jacky Salmon our Secretary, or Barry Pearce of Planning Aid South West, for posh copies.
