Minibuses will be travelling to and from the Big Blockade in February from Edinburgh, Glasgow and other parts of Scotland depending on demand.
We expect to leave Scotland on Sunday and go to a resting place near enough to get to Aldermaston fresh on Monday morning. After the blockade, everyone will be able go to a convergence space to await the release of people who have been arrested, (who will be collected) and meet up and hear each other's stories before the journey home.

A Festive event to look at one way of tackling climate change and celebrating the turn of the year on Sunday 13 December at 7.30pm!
The Centre is very happy to have Henderson's at St John's lovely veggie cafe next door (yes same Hendersons as Hanover Street) at the site of the old Cornerstone cafe. At our first collaborative event we hope to raise funds for the Centre, let you enjoy a bit of a ceilidh and introduce the idea of 80/20 eating as an important action for Climate Change that we can all make a commitment to. And all at once!

Just after eight thirty this morning, several members of Trident Ploughshares blocked the entrance of the Edinburgh International Conference Centre for quarter of an hour as Parliamentarians from NATO countries met for the final session of the assembly. Foreign Secretary David Milliband and the Secretary General of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen were due to speak following a minute’s silence.
