Upcoming Events (Oxon/National)

Saturday street stall
We need volunteers to help with the regular PSC stall in Cornmarket Street Oxford on Saturdays. This is one of the main ways we raise the issue of Palestine with the public at large. It takes a couple of hours (plus a bit each side to collect and return the materials). Two people at all times means you always have backup. If each supporter did one Saturday a month we would be covered. Ring Jenny Stanton on Oxford (01865) 247730 or email: jennystanton@ecosse.net if you can do any Saturday.
