Edinburgh / Dùn Èideann

245 members

The Edinburgh Group are a very friendly and active group. New members are always welcome! We meet regularly on the first and third Wednesday of every month (except August) in the upstairs room of the Beehive Inn on the Grassmarket at 8pm.

Current campaign

Our international film competition launches on 17 September 2011
VW is using covert forces to oppose two key European climate laws – stronger emission targets and stronger car efficiency targets. Greenpeace volunteers are inviting the public to sign postcards to VW and to TEXT JEDI to join the campaign. They are also organising regional film screenings and outreach events to showcase the 12 shortlisted VW spoof films. Please get involved and get in touch with your local network coordinator.
