We hope to have lots of support for our two street stalls tomorrow. If possible please come and help because the more volunteers we have, the greater the number of people we can reach.
Saturday 27th April: Ipswich Street stall 10.00-12.00
At the bottom of Lloyds Avenue, by Debenhams, Westgate Street, IP1 3EH. This stall is being organised by our new Ipswich based EUnity group and the Suffolk EU Alliance.
Saturday 27th April: Felixstowe street stall 10.00-12.00.
The stall will be in the High Street outside the Old Sweet Shop, opposite HSBC, 79, Hamilton Road, IP11 7BE or nearby if this space is too busy.
At both street stalls we will be encouraging people to register to vote in the future European Parliament elections. We will also be promoting the People’s Vote campaign, encouraging people to write to their MPs and to sign the ‘Revoke Article 50’ petition. We will use our updated Brexitometers to help us gauge the mood and feelings of local Suffolk people and there will be leaflets for volunteers to distribute.
Please email me if you can help us tomorrow for an hour or two at either stall at: suffolkeu@gmail.com or just come along to chat and show your support. A huge thank you to all those who have already volunteered.
