Dear Supporters and Members,
Important notices for this week:
1) Our Seckford Golf Club meeting next Tuesday, 2nd October 7-9pm.
We are very fortunate to be able to meet at the Golf Club free of charge on the condition that 25 people book meals. You are all very welcome to come to just the meeting but we are really hoping enough people will pre-book the meal option so that we can keep this spacious venue for our meetings.
The meal choice is a meat or vegetarian lasagne both served with salad. The cost is £8.00 which you pay on the evening. The meal must be pre-booked at suffolkeu@gmail.com asap. The meal will be served from 6.00pm.
2) Please come and support our street stall this Saturday 29th September in Lowestoft 10am-1pm. We will be near Barclays Bank in London Road North with our Brexitometer and leaflets promoting The People’s Vote.
The street stall will be part of a national campaign organised by the European Movement, Open Britain, Britain for Europe and several other leading Remain umbrella groups. It will be much appreciated if you can come and join us, even if only for a brief time, so that we have a really strong presence on the main Lowestoft shopping street.
Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered to help, we look forward to meeting you there.
3) London March on Saturday 20th October: Please see the travel arrangements and important up dated information about our meeting place in London at the end of this email.

Other future dates
Saturday 6th October, Stowmarket 10am-1pm A street stall to promote the petition demanding a People’s Vote on the final Brexit deal. We will let you know the location of this street stall asap. This will be our first action on the streets of Stowmarket. Your support is needed to make the event a success.
Monday 8th October 6pm, Chelmsford – Campaigning outside the UKIP meeting. We will be talking to people and giving out leaflets. Please contact me if you would like to help with this.
Saturday 13th October, Beccles 10am-1pm. Street stall and Brexitometer
Saturday 27th October, Saxmundham outside Waitrose 10am-1pm another Street stall and Brexitometer
Please email me at: suffolkeu@gmail.com if you are able to support one or more of the above 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.
At all of these street stalls we will be asking people to sign ‘the People’s Vote’ petition, handing out leaflets, talking to passers by and using Brexitometers to gauge the feelings of people about Brexit and an opportunity to vote again on what the government negotiates with the EU. It will be 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 308,600 signatures please follow this link.

More Future Events:
Sunday 30th September Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham.
Members will be taking part in anti-Brexit rallies at this event. Contact me for more information.
Saturday 20th October A March in London to promote ‘The People’s Vote on the final Brexit deal’.
Following the great success of the March for a People’s Vote on 23rd June the organisers have announced that we will be marching to Westminster again on Saturday 20th October with an even bigger and better march before the ‘deal’ returns to Parliament. This march HAS TO BE HUGE so please come and encourage all your friends and family to join you.
We shall be travelling on the train that passes through Woodbridge station at 8.25 am and Ipswich station at 8.52 am. We are not going to suggest return times as people will have different ideas about how late they wish to stay in London. The train one hour later should also get you to London in good time. We will all be meeting outside The London Hilton Hotel in Park Lane. Other groups will be travelling from Cambridge and Norfolk, I can help you connect up with them if those locations are more convenient starting points for your journey. Train tickets can be booked through the ‘Trainline’ or ‘Abellio Greater Anglia’ websites and we advise you to book asap to avoid price rises.
