Base Groups
Over the weekend, attenders are allocated a Base Group of about 6 people (though this can vary depending on the overall number of participants in a weekend), in which they discuss issues and carry out the jobs allocated by the jobs rota. Base Groups allow people to associate on a smaller, more manageable scale and make discussions easier and fairer.

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or groups:
“Time, force, and death
Do to this body what extremes you can,
But the strong base and building of my love
Is as the very centre of the earth,
Drawing all things to it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
