Change of plans!

Well, our little outdoor event on Isle of Bute has received some national media attention over the past week or so.
We got a mention in  The Guardian on Monday 28th Jan http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/jan/28/one-billion-rising-feminist-campaign
We gat a mention on the official One Billion Rising website on 22nd Jan http://onebillionrising.org/news/P15
A mention in The Observer on Sunday 3rd Feb http://www.guardian.co.uk/theobserver/2013/feb/03/profile-eve-ensler-feminism-one-billion
aswell as a couple of mentions on the V day Facebook page.

Really chuffed that our little event is making it good with the big events that are happening, not only across the UK but the whole planet.

So it comes as a bit of a setback that we have had to change our plans after a visit to the local police station to inform then of what we had intended to do.

We have been told no music or dancing and as long as the gathering is peaceful then we should be ok.

So the plan now is to meet in the town square, say a few words as to why we are there, take some pics and then pop round to the local internet based radio station and do an interview with them.

At least we will still be taking part in this global event.

I am so looking forward to seeing all the videos and photographs, from all the events taking place on Feb 14th.
Spread the word, Rise up and be part of something that will change the world.
