Faslane News

Spring was welcomed at Faslane Peace Camp with a mad punk party that brought loads of Glasgow folk back whom had not been to visit in years. Due to the nature of what they do and who they hang about with everything went completely mad and for a while looked like it was not going to happen, but ended up as a brilliant stomp in the mud! “We are feeling hail and hardy and looking forward to a very busy Spring”, says one of the camp’s residents.

They are starting with a women’s action from 14-17th March. Camping will be at a beautiful site close to Faslane itself, thanks to a local landowner. Next up will be WaterWorld between 21—25th March with workshops on NVDA in the water, boat driving, safety and general tactics. There will be loads of different sea action groups converging on the banks of Gareloch to share experiences and expertise in these five fun filled days. The last day will include a selection of actions of your choice, remember it is Scotland and they have everything from nuclear submarines to genetically modified salmon at the farms!

Last but not least is the unforgettable Chernobyl day actions over April 25-28th. People are calling for international days of action, (basically they want people to sab their local nuclear whatever!) This will be their first big action for 1997 and they are hoping for loads of folk to hit every site in Scotland. There will be workshops focusing on the broad issues of nuclear accidents, waste etc as opposed to just the weapons issue. Contact Faslane on: 01436 820901.
