THE MARCH

There has been a surge of support for the Independent on Sunday
Decriminalise Cannabis Campaign march. A delegation from the European
Parliament, together with 200 supporters, has pledged to join the march,
which starts in Hyde Park at midday on Saturday 28 March and finishes with
a rally at Hyde Park.

The response from closer to home has been just as encouraging, with coach
parties organised from as far afield as Liverpool, Hull, Manchester, the
West Country, South Wales and East Anglia. But we still need your help. We
want volunteers to act as stewards or supervisors on the day. If you are
able to fill this important role your duties will be principally concerned
with ensuring crowd safety. Stewards will liaise with march organisers and
help direct the flow of people away from traffic while at the same time
ensuring that campaigners keep to the approved route through central London.

If you can act as a steward or if you plan to bring a group and want advice
on coach-parking or access for the disabled, please contact Debbie Ellis or
Chris Brown on the Cannabis March line 0181 964-2692, or fax,
0181-964-2701. Or alternatively you can access our web site at
www.independent.co.uk of the routine work such as internal post has now
gone out to agency and an outsider could be responsible.
