Dear All!

I would like to suggest a new member of the club.

Pete Walker, is an engineer, professor and researcher at Bath  
University, Director of BRE Centre for Innovative Contsruction  
Materials, where amoungst straw, hemp, lime, dry-stone wall,  
developing methods for use of timber etc. is being investigated. He  
has a personal interest in straw bale construction, a facination like  
the rest of us. Lately he was the coordintor of the Conference NOCMAT  
(Non Conventional Construction Materials), that Bruce King mentioned  
on the list a few month ago.

After having been a fully hands on person for many years with straw  
construction, I am now peeking in to the academic side, and being  
really surpriced by how much interest there is and how poorly we are  
linked, between these two "worlds",

Pete is a very friendly nature, whom I find a key figure in current  
academic research on straw construction and I find that he could  
support bridging the more academic knowledge with the practical  
knowledge on this list.
