We have several new and important campaigning events in the next couple of weeks.
Action Day Ipswich, Saturday 9th February 10am The Cornhill. This will be a massive Leafleting Event. The new leaflets provided by The People’s Vote Campaign will be specifically targeted for Ipswich and we need 250 people (500 feet) to deliver them.
10.00am: Gather at the Cornhill for some EU joy and a big photo moment. Grab a coffee as the bundles of leaflets are distributed among supporters. By 10.30am we plan to set off delivering the leaflets all over Ipswich to share what the People’s Vote means for everyone.
If you have roads where you would like to deliver please email me with details so we can get your bundle prepared and tick the roads off on our map.
For parking we recommend The Crown Street car park which is £1.00 an hour, where you collect a ticket and pay when you leave. This is convenient for this event as many of us will not know how long we will need parking in central Ipswich. (NB for cars that park before 2pm the maximum stay is 5 hours)
We are also going to need a working party in the days before this event to count and bundle leaflets, more information later.
Thursday 14th February : London, come with us to support Steve Bray and the SODEM (Stand of Defiance European Movement) activists outside Parliament. We have been told this is the date of the next ‘Meaningful Vote’ but of course nothing is certain!
Some of us are catching the 8.38am train from Woodbridge which connects with the 9.09am train in Ipswich and arrives at London Liverpool Street at 10.19am. We are travelling back on the last train to Woodbridge which leaves London Liverpool Street at 9.00pm. Contact me if you are coming so I can keep you fully informed.
Roger and I will also be joining SODEM on Tuesday, 5th February, same train times if anyone want to join us.
Friday 8th February : One of our Members has been granted a meeting with Dr T Coffey, the Suffolk Coastal MP. No information has been provided about the venue or the time but we shall let you know asap so that we can show support.
Tuesday 12th February 7pm: A general meeting at The Seckford Golf Club, Woodbridge, IP13 6NT. An optional meal will be served from 6pm. The meal this week is jacket potatoes with a coronation chicken topping or vegetarian beans and cheese. The price is £8 to be paid on the evening and must be pre-booked, via me by Friday 8th February at the latest by email.
The Seckford Golf Club, Seckford Hall Road, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP13 6NT
The Golf Club is near The Seckford Hall Hotel and is on the Seckford Hall Road, 3 turnings beyond the hotel entrance. Please see the map on our website (satellite view is clearest) here.
Dates of future meetings: Tuesday 26th February, Tuesday 12th March and Tuesday 26th March. All Meetings are at the Seckford Golf Club Woodbridge.
Friday 15th February 6.30pm The Cult Cafe, Ipswich waterfront.
A new pro-EU Ipswich group have organised an informal meeting to discuss the benefits of being in the EU and hopefully engaging in a friendly supportive way with those people who may be undecided – and with other Europeans who may feel on the outside and anxious about what is happening. This meeting is mainly for supporters who live in the Ipswich area but all are welcome to attend.
Venue: The Cult Cafe, 3 University Avenue | James Hehir Building, Ipswich IP4 1AX
We hope you can come and support some of these events.
With best wishes and hoping to see you soon.

Membership Secretary
