It’s all hands on deck to prep the A-boards for 12 December!
We need a dozen or more helpers to strip and re-poster ca.150 A-boards which will go outside polling stations all over Edinburgh on 12 December. A-boards are an important visual reinforcement on polling day. Our A-board posters for this election are exceptionally Green and lovely, and we need your help to get them ready.
We’ll make it a fun social activity. Quality chat with other Greens while we prep the boards; tea, coffee & biscuits provided. If you can come, please drop us a line: volunteers.edin@scottishfgreens.org.uk or just turn up.
When: Sunday 8th December – 9.30 for 10am start.
Where: at former Community Ability Network ‘CAN’ shop, 94 Niddrie Mains Road, EH16 4DT.
Polling day for general elections 2019: can you help on the day?

Or can you spend an hour or 2 as a ‘Polling Place Green‘ outside a polling place, welcoming and directing voters?
Please email us – we’d like to hear from you! volunteers.edin@scottishgreens.org.uk.
Get together with other Greens from the Inverleith and Forth local teams.
Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.
