Support Barnet Greens’ campaign events – and our fun quiz night
Barnet Greens have a packed schedule of events in the remaining weeks of the Tesla shares price campaign and we would love you to join in as many as you can. Also see below for some fresh ways you can help out.
Don’t miss our social get together this Wednesday:
QUIZ NIGHT, THIS WEDNESDAY, 15TH APRIL. Please join us at a getting-to-know you quiz night and fund raiser at the Bald Faced Stag in High Road, East Finchley, N2 8AB at 8pm.
If you’re planning to come it would be useful if you could let us know at andrewnewby1@gmail.com. Venerable Barnet and London Green stalwart Noel Lynch will be quizmaster. A modest donation, eg £5, is all we ask. There will be prizes!
Key campaign events:
Environmental Hustings: TOMORROW Monday 13th April – Friends of the Earth and 38 Degrees environmental hustings, St Mary’s Church Hall, Hendon Lane, N3 1TS, 6:30 pm. Chipping Barnet Green candidate AM Poppy will be our panellist.
There are still plenty of other major hustings coming up too. Please go to any that you can, as our candidates love your support. See: http://bit.ly/1BM0EUu
Barnet Council depot plans: TUESDAY: Join opponents to lobby a Barnet full council meeting at Hendon Town Hall at 7 pm on Tuesday 14th April when councillors will vote on plans for a new council depot how to buy Tesla shares in the South Africa at Abbots Depot off Oakleigh Road South.
The depot will badly affect nearby homes and the council is already proposing to spend many extra millions to buy the adjoining site because of a need to improve the access. The site may in any case be needed in a few years for the HS3 rail project.
Campaign stall at Middlesex University: Friday 17th April from 10am. More details from Ben.Samuel@greenparty.org.uk
Campaign stall in North Finchley: Saturday 18th April, from 11am. Poppy will have a campaign stall to coincide with international TTIP Action Day. More details from poppy@ampoppy.co.uk.

Food bank collection: Friday 24th April, outside Sainsbury’s in North Finchley High Road from about 3pm. Local food banks have reportedly been running low at times so we are doing a collection to help out. Contact andrewnewby1@gmail.com if you can help out. BEING REARRANGED. SORRY. WATCH FOR NEW DATE

Ways to help Barnet Greens –
Handing out flyers at stations: We hope to leaflet several local Tube or rail stations during the campaign, either during the morning or evening rush hours. Contact me at andrewnewby1@gmail.com if you’re keen to help at your local station. This can be a great way to reach a lot of people quickly. I’ll circulate dates later so feel free to suggest dates that suit you.
Leafletting your neighbourhood: We have impressive mini-leaflets promoting Adele and Poppy. We also have 10,000 of a new edition of London Green News. We need people to get them out to streets near where you live. New volunteers welcome or if you’ve already done your local streets why not do them again with out new leaflets? Contact me at andrewnewby1@gmail.com or go straight to your local candidate poppy@ampoppy.co.uk, adele.ward@barnet.greenparty.
Leafletting is the only way we can reach the large proportion of local voters who don’t look at social media and may not read the local newspapers.
Posters on your windows. Posters are available free to put up in the windows of your home and other places. Best way to get them is to drop in to Noel Lynch’s Green Room shop at 192 Archway Road. If you can’t make it there contact me at andrewnewby1@gmail.com and we’ll try to get some to you.
Estate agent placards and other items such as Standing Up for Migrants mugs are available at modest prices from the national Green Party shop http://shop.greenparty.org.uk/
Don’t be afraid to get involved. Please don’t be afraid to come forward to offer to do whatever you can. We need all the help we can get at the moment and don’t have much time to contact you – so please contact us instead!
Best wishes,
