The main purpose of the space is to be a welcoming point not only for international protesters arriving in Edinburgh needing practical information, but also for the local public to get in touch and get information about activities. Over the next few weeks, the former post office on Leith Walk will act as an information and connectivity hub. Meetings will be held daily at 6pm to facilitate the running of the Infoshop, which is planned to be opened for 24 hours a day. Fairtraded Zapatista Coffee from the Coffee Collective, Tea, resting space on comfortable sofas, Computers and hopefully soon Telephone and Internet Access will be available in the Drop-In. The Infoshop will also provide practical informations for new arrivals, such as faciliting the "ADOPT ON ACTIVIST" campaign, where locals ar asked to provide accomodation for international anti-globalisation protesters, as there is an accomodation shortage in Edinburgh, due to Council policy.
