Hi All -
I know this is short notice, but the Oxfam Bookshop have agreed to let us have a stall to collect signatures for the G8 petition in the bookshop on Saturday morning! This is a great opportunity to link with the shop and see if this sort of campaign works - it could form the basis of more campaigning throughout the year (and means we can campaign inside rather than outside which is good!).
Thee idea is that we will provide a table & postcards for people to sign to send a Wish to the G8 in Japan. The wishes will then be hung on a Japanese bamboo tree that will go in the window of the shop for the day.
I have the postcards, a tablecloth, the bamboo tree and string. I may be able to get a table, but it's a bit heavy, so if anyone has a light plastic table they can bring that'd be great!
We'll set up around 10 and then man the stall between 10 - 2 (depending on volunteer numbers). If you can help even for half an hour during this time that woudl be great. We only need 1 or 2 people onthe stall at any one time due to the size of the shop, but the more who can do it, the longer we can do it for and the more signatures we'll get!
Once we collect the signatures, we'll be sending a picture of the tree and a message to Beppu, Bath's partner city in Japan about the G8....
Hope to see some of you on Saturday!
Janine
