Remembrance Sunday

November 8, 2009

BNP flagOfficials from across Scotland attended a Remembrance Service conducted by Reverend Robert West in Morayshire this Sunday.
Representatives from Inverness down to Glasgow travelled to the private service to remember our fallen.

A wreath was laid in glorious sunshine followed by the two minutes silence that was very poignant in the countryside surrounding us.

The group then crossed over the road to take a seat for the second part of the service. This was followed by hot soup and rolls and a chance to catch up.

As Rev West had to travel so far to conduct this service it had been arranged to hold a baptism as well. I would like to thank John and Vikki for becoming my daughters God parents and Hammy, Joe and Denise for their kind present.

First meeting for Lothians

September 25, 2009

Picture 003Thursday night saw a successful and productive first meeting for Lothian’s BNP.
The meeting was held at a venue in West Lothian with special guests Charlie Baillie, Glasgow BNP and Walter Hamilton, Lanarkshire BNP. Plus, there were a number of potential new members, as well as two Latvian Nationalists who support our cause; one of whom has spent two years in a Soviet prison due to his own Nationalist beliefs.
The meeting began with organiser Mike Coyle giving an introduction about the new group (with terrible jokes throughout) followed by a discussion of the roles that the group is aiming to fill and targets they hope to achieve.
The group had a positive and engaging discussion about recruitment and fund raising within the Lothian area, with many invaluable contributions from all, followed by a distribution of information of coming events; including a remembrance service for the fallen and a briefing on the 2010 elections. The first task agreed and actions started is that of leaflet distributions and Voice of Freedom sales within West Lothian.

Mr. Baillie then gave an inspirational talk about the upcoming Glasgow by-election, briefing the group on his goals and strategies.
Lothian’s BNP has agreed to contribute as much man-power as possible. It was also announced, with members consent, that Lothian’s BNP will donate 25% of all funds raised to the Glasgow campaign.

Centre stage then went to Mr. Hamilton, who gave invaluable and practical advice on a number of topics, including recruitment, fund raising, leafleting and many other aspects vital to a new group. Mr. Hamilton also contested the trophy for most terrible jokes, of which Mike was happy to concede.

Many thanks to those who attended and also to those who have been in touch, who could not attend.
Special thanks to Mr. Baillie and Mr. Hamilton for their contributions.
