MORE details have been released about the first All Under One Banner (AUOB) National Assembly, which will take place at Adelaide Place Baptist Church, Bath Street, Glasgow on Saturday November 16 from 12.30pm to 5.30pm.
The AUOB National Assembly was officially launched in The National on Monday, and the group responsible for organising marches and rallies for independence across Scotland will be sending out invitations to active Yes groups asking them to send representatives to attend.
AUOB founder Neil Mackay told The National: “The AUOB National Assembly will begin with some key presentations and a question-and-answer session to introduce the Assembly agenda.
“Then we shall split off into seven organising groups respective to the seven AUOB 2020 marches.
Each group will be chaired by a facilitator and representatives will brainstorm and strategise as to how we can make each event the best it can be.
“Minutes will be taken at each table and this information will be reviewed before the second AUOB National Assembly at the start of next year, when we will come back with full feedback on all proposals.”
Mackay revealed that AUOB will be moving the Assembly to elect three nominated representatives from each group, creating a 21-member YesRep committee that will oversee seven regional AUOB groups. These groups will meet regularly to put the agreements made at the Assembly into action.
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
