>>GET on board on the Resist G8 Trains!

The G8 Summit takes place in Gleneagles, Scotland from the 6th-8th July 2005. However, there will be many events, demos and direct actions around Scotland in the days leading up to the summit. The South East Assembly has chartered two trains to take people up to the protests against the G8 summit. This will also include the huge Make Poverty History march on July 2nd in Edinburgh. Every day there will be different protests at nulcear bases (faslane July 4th), detention centres (Dungavel July 5th) and several other initiatives which need support. The trains will depart early morning from London Kings Cross and arrive in Edinburgh where accommodation (bring sleeping bags and tents!) will be provided for free.
