Referendum Rally Update

Dear Friends,

The indoor speeches (QEII) part of the rally events of 27 October have been removed from the programme. This is due to the postal strikes and the number of people wanting to attend QEII. These two issues have combined to make it impossible to organise the access, ensure security and issue tickets. Following discussions with various authorities we have therefore decided to concentrate on the outdoor elements of the day, including a number of outdoor speakers. This will enable all who attend to experience the full rally and I am sure will be greatly welcomed.

All those who have purchased tickets will be contacted as soon as possible with refunds, unless they request that their ticket money is retained by PRR as a donation to the costs of the rally.

We will have a superb public rally, leading the nation on this most important issue and we are most grateful for your continued help in defending Britain. The events will commence at 12.15pm and continue with the mock ballot, outside the Houses of Parliament and speeches from politicians and others of great note.

This is the definitive opportunity to show the depth of support for people to be consulted. The opposition to the so-called 'EU Reform Treaty' is remarkable, even the Labour-dominated Parliamentary Scrutiny Committee now say it is just the rejected EU Constitution, with un-defendable red lines.

Details of when and where to join the Rally are available on the Rally website at http://www.proreferendumrally.co.uk

I look forward to seeing you at around 12.15pm on 27 October, opposite old Palace Yard (the House of Lords). The event will end by 3 pm.

Yours sincerely

Dr Bob Spink MP

Chairman, Pro Referendum Rally Steering Group
