2) Also in the morning on the same day, Saturday 27th October 10am-1pm we have our Saxmundham street stall outside Waitrose ( cafe entrance) 10am-1pm.
Please email me at: suffolkeu@gmail.com if you are able to support either of these events. The more support we have on the streets and the bigger our presence the greater will be our impact upon changing the minds of local people. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help with this.
At the street stalls we ask people to sign ‘the People’s Vote’ petition, we hand out leaflets and talk to passers by. We also use our popular Brexitometers to gauge the feelings of people about Brexit and the opportunity to vote again on what the government negotiates with the EU. It’s a good chance to get to know and work with other members of our group.
If you haven’t yet signed the petition which now has 325,800 signatures please follow this link.
