Israeli and settlement dates were being sold locally. Ramadan approaches. Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday 16th July, on Cowley Road, to distribute leaflets to shops and restaurants. Such a good and welcoming response, from Greek, Turkish, and Asian shops, with people taking more leaflets, wanting to get more involved, and some dates being returned to sender.
Most supermarkets are not now selling settlement goods. Tesco’s is, though they have agreed to clearly mark them as such. If you want to make your point to the local Tesco’s, please do so politely (the local staff are not our enemy.
Other suggestions Welcome. Leaflets can be collected from our Saturday stall.
Local PSC member Ben Smith will tomorrow ( Monday 25th July) will be undertaking a 5 day, 600km mountainbike ride and will be riding to raise funds for MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians), it would be good to send him messages of support and sponsorship on his website:

6TH, 2011
Saturday street stall: The OPSC Saturday street stall on Cornmarket street is one of the main ways we use for raising the issue of Palestine with the public at large. It is an important activity for offering information leaflets to the public, inviting them to join PSC or leave their email for Oxford PSC updates. Generally we are there 11:30 to 13:30. Always a minimum of two people on shift. Please consider volunteering for a shift: its an opportunity to meet other PSC members, those wanting information and occasionally those wishing to challenge our views, even volunteering for one shift a year would help. Please email ali at OPSCstall@gmail.com if you're able to help.
PS ... If you can only do an hour or so, then that’s good too, email us for information and turn up on the day. Thank you to all who volunteered for vacant slots
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers
