East Lothian & Borders European Movement

17/10/2022, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
We already have a very active group in the Edinburgh area. However, we also have members and supporters in the East Lothian and Borders area, and a number have expressed an interest in setting up a local group (or groups) in that area also.
If you are interested in getting involved in a local group in the East Lothian and/or Borders area, we would like to invite you to join in an online meeting this coming Monday, 17 October, at 6.30 pm. We will see what interest there is in such a group, and discuss what it could do to promote the pro-European message in those areas.
What our local groups do is very much up to our members and supporters in local areas. Some are active in organising street stalls with information and campaign material. Others organise meetings and discussions, online or in person, on important European issues. Some publicise the European links of their own communities, through activities such as ‘Eurowalks’.
It’s up to you what you want to do in your area – and all our members and supporters are welcome to join in!
This online event for East Lothian and Borders will start at 1830 with an introduction by one of our committee:
  • Sir Graham Watson, former MEP, and President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament.
  • We will then have a talk from another of our members, John Home Robertson, former MP and MSP for East Lothian, about his recent work delivering aid to communities in Ukraine on behalf of Edinburgh Direct Aid.
  • After that, we will have a discussion about setting up a local group (or groups) in the East Lothian and Borders area. The meeting will finish by 8.00 pm.
To take part, just join through this Zoom link. Meeting ID: 846 6589 2290 Passcode: 180865
If you are going to take part, it would be useful (although not essential) if you told us by emailing me at chair@euromovescotland.org.uk Please also let us know if you would like to take part in the local group, but can’t join us on Monday.
Finally, I should explain that we are sending this email to all our contacts in the EH postcode area, which does of course cover more than East Lothian and Borders. If you want to get involved with our Edinburgh4Europe group, which is very active, you can find their details here.
