The Yes campaign goes on
In the month when the Scottish Government published the White Paper giving full details of Independence proposals, Yes Scotland Arran has not been idle. On 9th November, and to mark Polish National Day (on the 11th) we hosted a ‘drop-in cafe’ for the Arran Polish community, featuring the patisserie of local chef Lucasz Switek, along with an exchange of information on the referendum and voter registration. On the fund-raising front, the ‘Big Picture’ Prize Draw, with wall-ready Arran photographs donated by Len Hartley, Anna Downard, Jim Macrae, Jim Gourlay and other photographers, has proved popular and was drawn at the Yes Scotland Arran St Andrews Night dinner at the Douglas Hotel on 30th November.
Volunteers have been hand-delivering a leaflet on the opportunities for Scotland in the field of renewal energy. And now, with less than 300 days now until September 18th 2014, plans are underway to enhance the flow of referendum information to Arran voters early in the New Year. Exciting times! For more information, visit ‘Yes Scotland Arran’ on Facebook, or phone Anne Bruce on 810601.
