‘Yes’ Campaign officially Out of Control

The vibrant and imaginative campaign for a ‘yes’ vote in the September 18th referendum continues to grow across the country. Arran is no exception, and the early Spring has seen the emergence of new groups, free of any central management, bringing information and enthusiasm to the debate.

Think you’d like to know more about Independence? Perhaps “I just don’t like Alex Salmond” is now becoming too lame an excuse for inaction? April is definitely the month to join in, with several opportunities to question ‘Yes’ campaigners, and find out more.

First up is John Mason MSP, who will lead a meeting on Christians and Independence on Sunday 6th April (2.30 to 4.00pm, at the Ormidale Pavilion, Brodick).

A new group ‘Arran Women for Independence’ has two informal meetings organised:

On Saturday April 12th, Frances Barron (a businesswoman from Ayr) will be at the Ormidale Pavilion from 2.30 to 4.00pm for a discussion with tea and coffee.

Ms Philippa Whitford (leading breast cancer surgeon from Crosshouse Hospital) will speak on Scottish Independence on Friday 2nd May from 7.30 to 9.00pm, also at the Ormidale Pavilion. There will be wine and nibbles and a relaxed atmosphere.
