THERE’S still time to snap up tickets for a Big Night Out ahead of the SNP conference.
The Aberdeen Independence Movement (AIM) and The National will be in Aberdeen on Friday for some fantastic debate on the big issues set to come up over the following few days.
As well as a welcome from Stephen Flynn MP, MSPs in attendance will include Karen Adam, Keith Brown, Maggie Chapman and Christina McKelvie – digging into the debate on the code of conduct motion.
Glasgow councillor Roza Salih and prominent lawyer and activist Aamer Anwar will also be speaking.
The National’s deputy editor Stewart Ward said: “We’re excited to be working with AIM on this pre-conference Big Night Out.
“With a return to in-person proceedings over the weekend and into Monday, we know many of our readers will be up in the Granite City.
“While there’ll be plenty of fun to be had at this event, we’re also
excited to see some of the major debates that will be taking place across conference kick-off.
“We’ll have must-read coverage of conference season across the board, but for those who can attend this night, it’ll be a great chance to hear what’s happening at the heart of it.

“This is a crucial period for Scotland. As the nation’s pro-independence newspaper, we want to help facilitate the debate on how we best secure it. And if you see National journalists at conference, have a chat with us!”
The event will be held from 7pm to 10pm at the Park Inn in Aberdeen on Friday, October 7.
Standard tickets are £12, youth-student tickets are £8, and concession tickets are £8. There will be on-the-door entry on the night, with those tickets costing £15.

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
