ALL Under One Banner (AUOB) is hosting a volunteers’ meeting to help Yessers get involved in the planning and organising of this summer’s Aberdeen march.
On Saturday June 22, independence supporters are invited to the Station Hotel in the city to help put together the August march and rally.
The meeting is one of eight planned around the country in a new system of organisation by AUOB, which is looking to involve local volunteers as event stewards, first-aiders, rally crew and fundraisers.

AUOB said: “Come along to this organising meeting if you are wanting to know more about our plans for the AUOB August 17 Aberdeen march, and most importantly for you to find out how you can get involved as we are requiring a broad range of volunteers to help make the big day happen.
“Over and above this we will have thousands of flyers and promotional materials available to collect to take home with you and distribute to those you know and all over your local area.”
The Aberdeen march and rally will take place on Saturday, August 17. Independence supporters are to gather at Castlegate, where the march will begin at 1.30pm.
The route will cover Union Street, Holburn Street, Fonthill Road, Polmuir Road and Duthie Park.
AUOB will be running busses from Glasgow City Chambers from 9.30am on the day – tickets can be pre-booked online at https://tinyurl.com/y4gj8dve.
Other volunteers meetings will be held in Perth and Edinburgh ahead of AUOB marches there.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
