(By the way, the calendar produced by six-year-old Eloise Ferris which was highlighted during the week is actually being sold by AUOB on behalf of Yes Skye & Lochalsh. The link is https://auob.org/shop/yes-skye-amp-lochalsh-2021-calendar-by).

Then on Sunday, October 11, from 2pm to 4pm, MacAskill will be the main speaker in a virtual meeting organised by Yes Edinburgh and Lothians, the umbrella group for many Yes groups in those areas.

Register free with Eventbrite and you will be emailed the Zoom details of the meeting.
