Below are Full Details of the protest at the Edinburgh NATO meeting on Afghanistan.

Troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan!
THE DETAILS
There will be a demonstration as close to the summit as possible: it will be as visible and noisy as we make it! Lets exercise our democratic right to freedom of assembly, and make sure the warmongers visit is as uncomfortable as possible!

TRAVEL
the early bird catches the worm!

If going from Edinburgh.
Meet 7am at Rutland Square next to Caledonian Hotel and across Lothian Road from the Peace and Justice Centre. There will be a bicycle contingent but if you can bring a car and offer lifts please do so. Everyone else will take the 43 bus which leaves nearby and goes close to Craigiehall. If on the bus get off at the Riverside Road stop which is marked as Army Barracks.

If travelling direct
Meet up with the bus contingent at Riverside Road just off the A90 at 8am.

BANNER MAKING
Meet at the Peace and Justice Centre, at 6pm on Thursday evening. Some materials will be provided, but please bring as much as you can!

ACCOMMODATION
There are very limited spaces on peoples floors:
meet at the Peace and Justice Centre for the banner making session 6pm on Thursday to meet people with crash-space. Bring a sleeping bag and roll mat!

STUFF TO BRING
This probably goes without saying, but its cold and might be wet on the day, so wear appropriate clothing. You might want to bring food and drink also, and of course banners, and placards!

NOISE!
as well as banners and placards, please bring megaphones, sound systems (there will be one, but more is better!) and horns. we hope to be within earshot of the political and military elite - lets tell them what we think!
