LEITH MUSEUM CAMPAIGN

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I thought it would be useful to organise an informal discussion to bring those organisations supporting the Leith Museum Campaign up-to-date with progress to date, and possible next steps. I’m meeting with the Director of the National Museum of Scotland at the end of August and I’ve therefore arranged a meeting for Monday 3rd September, at 7.30pm in South Leith Parish Church Halls (not in the Church itself), 6 Henderson Street (courtesy of Ian Gilmour!)
This is planned as a meeting for supporting organisations. I will be suggesting we organise a public meeting later in September to keep informed the 3000+ people who’ve now signed the petition.

Many thanks, Mark Lazarowicz MP
