With all the goings on politically it can be difficult to keep up with what is going on. The other morning after coming in off nightshift I went to bed, only to wake up to find a General Election was coming! Political plans and timescales are often shaped and disrupted by other events, and this is one event which could hasten or lengthen the chances of Scotland becoming independent. We have begun to organise the group and we’ve held the first of our street stalls. Having got started we now have to gain momentum and grow the group so that we can take our message not only onto the high street but into the housing schemes, the town and the villages.
This Saturday (22nd April) sees us back in Airdrie town centre for another street stall. The last one was positively received and it will be interesting to see how the recent General Election announcement has affected people’s views. If you want to come and join us at the street stall you can do so from 11am until 1pm, outside Boots/WH Smith. In addition to the leaflets and merchandise which was available last time we have been supplied with 200 free copies of The National to give away! This really is a fantastic gesture and it will be a chance to get the paper into the hands of people who perhaps wouldn’t otherwise pick it up, or who may not even be aware it’s there.
Speaking of The National, we have been told that the Airdrieonians For Independence group will be featured at some point in the next few days, and as a follow up the editor, Calum Baird, will be bringing The National Roadshow to join us for the Wee Ginger Dug Comes To Airdrie on 2nd May, and it’s looking as if they will be kindly livestreaming the event too!
Following on from our two street stalls and the Wee Ginger Dug evening we will be looking to formally convene the group on Saturday 6th May at Airdrie Library, 12pm-2pm. This is an extremely important meeting and we are looking for as many people to attend as possible.
We hope you can join us at one or all of the events we have planned. Please Like and share our content online to ensure that our activities are advertised to the maximum: YOU are the media, and it is only with your help that we can be successful.
Please also download the Indy App from the app store/play store. The app is now live and we’ll be posting our events on there so you can be notified of all that’s going on directly to your mobile phone or tablet.
