>Hello again,
>
>We're holding a stall from 11am to 4.30pm this Saturday at the Manchester
>Bike Week event in St. Ann's Square.  The main focus for the stall will be a
>survey asking the public "Is the Government doing enough to tackle climate
>change?", as part of a national day of action in support of "The Big Ask"
>campaign to encourage MPs to support a new climate change bill requiring
>year-on-year reductions of carbon dioxide emissions to help us reach our
>national target of a 60% cut by 2050 (for more info, see www.thebigask.com).
>
>The more volunteers that can help out on the day the better, not only to get
>a big response to the survey, but also to distribute beer mats to nearby
>pubs, hand out flyers, and ask people to sign Big Ask postcards.  If you're
>able to help out at any point during the day, even for an hour, please let
>me know.  And if anyone can drag themselves out of bed to meet at the
>Friends Meeting House at 9am to help set up the stall, that would be greatly
>appreciated!
>
>Hope to see you on Saturday,
>
