THE Yes DIY Hub has received a plea for help which we are happy to pass on. Yes West Central Scotland (YesWCS) is looking for somewhere nearby to store
items from a stall it has been running at the top of Buchanan Street in Glasgow on Saturdays.

The organisation told us: “At the first meeting of the YesWCS regional groups in February, it was decided to have a stall at the top of Buchanan Street and this has been run by volunteers most Saturdays since then between 12noon and 2pm.
“It has proved very popular with the public and the many leaflets etc provided by local groups have had to be supplemented by supplies generously provided by other groups contacted through the National Yes Registry Indyapp.
“This stall has depended, until now, on a few people transporting a gazebo, table and leaflets etc and taking them away afterwards. It would be a great benefit if a storage space within reasonable walking distance of the stall location and accessible on a Saturday could be made available to take a gazebo, a folding table and a few boxes of leaflets and so on.”
“If you can provide storage space, or know someone who can, please make contact through yesruthergleninfo@gmail.com. If you are in a group or want to start a group in west central Scotland then please come along and introduce yourself at the stall or come to the next YesWCS meeting, which will be held between 2-5pm on Saturday, July 14, at the Renfield St Stephens Centre, 260 Bath Street, Glasgow G2 4JP. Please book on Eventbrite.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
