THEY had become an essential part of campaigning by the Yes movement but street stalls vanished from the scene during the coronavirus pandemic, and quite rightly so.
Now that we have moved beyond Level 0, street stalls are becoming more regularly seen and Yes Southside in Glasgow are leading the way with a weekly stall each Saturday outside the Langside Halls.
They said: “Our weekly Street Stall at Langside Halls will be continuing on a weekly basis from now on (weather and events permitting).
“We will be restricting numbers and maintaining social distancing but can easily accommodate volunteers with an extra stall if necessary.
“Campaigning materials are available for distribution, so please come along to help any Saturday you can manage from 12 noon to 2pm.”

Can we also point you in the direction of an Indy Night at The Drover bar in the Gallowgate in Glasgow, taking place this Saturday from 7pm.
The entertainment will be provided by Pete Scally and guests, plus the vocal talents of Yes movement - there’s an ever-popular karaoke session.
Pete Scally said: “I’m back, entertaining Glasgow with a bit of rock n roll and some cheeky Indy songs.
“Joining me will be John Darlington and maybe a couple of special guests.
“Come rock out with your Indy brothers and sisters.
“It’s about time we had some fun.
“It’s great to be back. Don’t miss out.”
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
