collectively buying some woodland

Are you interested in owning a wood collectively with 40 people and putting in £500?

I'd be extremely surprised if you can pull this off.

Getting 40 odd people together to genuinely commit £500 apiece will be hard enough, but then achieving consensus as to where?/what?/how? will be practically impossible. If by some tiny chance these problems are overcome and the land gets purchased, the problems really begin. Who uses it when? how? for what? Someone'll want to have a rave on it whilst others want to chill out that weekend; one group will want to spend additional money to provide water/leccy whilst another group will decide it's not needed; a committee will be formed .... then overthrown! etc, etc .....

Total fucking nightmare and I suspect that's why it died last time.

Good luck though, I shall watch with interest.
