Nottingham Keep Our NHS Public held a stall in the Market Square and attracted quite a lot of interest from passers-by.

Their Events Listing said:

Nottm & Notts Keep Our NHS Public

Following our branch meeting last night and an urgent notice from the KONP office on Wednesday we agreed to have a stall in the Market Sq THIS SATURDAY to get as many Cameron Postcards signed up so that we can contribute to the delivery to David Cameron on Sunday 15th January around 2pm ..ish. This is timed to co-incide with two runners from Bevan's statue in Cardiff (see: http://bevansrun.blogspot.com).

We will be running our stall from 11:00am - 3:00pm and would welcome Notts-KONPers to join us. The stall will be adjacent to the left lion in front of the Council House - look out for the Notts-KONP banner and well worn pasting board. We have approx 650 KONP post cards (thanks to to UNITE 713M branch) and will need to get as many as possible signed and posted off to the London office at the start of next week in order for them to be part of the bundle presented to David Cameron next Sunday. 

The cards contain the following message: see

Please join us on Saturday - if possible where a white lab coat - the weather forecast is blowy and fairly cold but hopefully dry. 

Apologies for the short notice but we thought that we needed to put the new Nottm & Notts KONP branch on the map and raise the profile of the NHS campaign locally. Please contact us by return if you require further information to info@Notts-KONP.org.uk.
