My first taste of intentional community was in 1953 at the age of 5 when our family moved into Alan and Joan Albon’s self-build in rural Suffolk. I have fond memories of living there, so little traffic then. We were only there less than one year. There wasn’t much employment for my father. It wasn’t until the early seventies that I tasted intentional community life again in the city of Manchester, UK. Before the end of the seventies, I formed a very small community in Folkestone. I moved to Wales in 1988. I now own 4 houses here and I have a large storage building on the other side of the road that I rent. It was the largest social club in Caerau. A lot has happened in between and now I am ready for the next phase. I have various plans that others might want to be involved with that cover various themes such as bringing real democracy to the world through electoral reform and food growing in arid regions through the use of glass and moisture retention. I will write about those things soon.
We aim to foster a community centered on the core principles of social progress and the advancement of co-operatives.
No set procedure so far.

One person or partnership has ultimate authority.
A single person, couple, or small group makes most major decisions.
Primary authority rests with the community’s founder(s) or designated leader(s).
If/when I am joined by others we can decide on these matters. I am willing to transfer the houses into a co-operative structure of some kind to be determined by the group so that the ownership stays with the group after I am dead. I have no children.
Members maintain separate personal finances with minimal sharing.
Labor: Encouraged or suggested
Self-employment will be the norm. M&A will be encouraged (mergers and acquisitions) (buying businesses and converting them to co-ops).
Smaller municipalities with local services but rural character.
