PRO-independence rally organisers All Under One Banner (AUOB) are hosting a Zoom meeting for all who wish to volunteer as a steward this Saturday in Ayr.
The third march and rally of the year is set to host SNP MP for North Ayrshire and Arran Patricia Gibson, Alba member Corri Wilson, and former regional MSP now Alba member Tommy Sheridan in Ayr on Saturday, July 29.
To allow for local publicity, the group has been campaigning in Ayr town centre.
Unfortunately, the regular Saor Alba Pipes and Drums band is not able to lead the march on Saturday. The group has "a lot of players either on holiday or already committeed to with other pipe band events" on the day, a spokesperson said.

AUOB organisers said: "We wish to put out a last minute call for individual pipers, drummers, and other musicians to attend in their stead to give the people some music and beats to march to."
"If there are any groups who are able to attend then that's great."
The stewards' team Zoom meeting will be hosted this evening at 6.30pm until 7.10pm.
Details are as follows:

Susy Robertson, the named organiser for the demonstration, said: "All Under One Banner marches and rallies mean so much more than ever now.
"We can't possibly go on under the rule of the most corrupt UK Govt ever, and with Labour shaping up to be more of the same then it's clear that poverty not prosperity is all the Union has to offer the people of Scotland.
"Now is the time to unite and march in solidarity for our nation's independence. Let's take this opportunity to express our desire for self determination, and show that support for the cause is strong."
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!
