> The Steering Group met recently and decided we need to communicate with
> you
> specifically about how the campaign is going. At the moment 39 groups are
> committed to a two-day blockade and have chosen their dates in the rota.
> These dates cover 57 days so far as some do not overlap with other
> groups.
> And a number of other groups, between 15 and 40, are at various stages
> of the process and may join with other groups or take on their own
> Blocks.
> We want to go ahead, as this response is a big step up from the frequency
> of active nonviolent resistance at Faslane over the last few years.
> However, it now looks unlikely that we will have 100 groups signed up
> when
> the blockades begin on 1st October, though we will go on working towards
> getting more groups involved and are confident that the numbers will
> grow.
> 
> When we first invited you to take part we said that Faslane 365 would not
> go ahead unless we had the 100 groups committed to the first 100 days of
> the rota. That was the basis on which your group made its commitment.
> Under the changed circumstances, we feel it is only right that you should
> be given a chance to withdraw now, without pressure or blame, if you wish
> to do so.
> 
> In our March update, and at mobilisation meetings since then, we said
> that
> in the event of not reaching the target of 100 groups the Steering Group
> would be prepared to provide overall support and training to groups that
> wished to go ahead in any case. We are happy to repeat that offer. This
> includes groups who are in the process of committing to a date on the
> rota
> as well as those which have already chosen a date. Our communications
> with
> many groups indicate that most of you are likely to want to continue but
> we do need to check this formally with you now.
> 
> We hope that all of you will feel it is worthwhile to continue to commit
> to your dates in the rota or to sign up for a date if you have not done
> so
> already and trust that others will join in as time passes. We will
> certainly continue to invite new groups to take part and continue to work
> for a year as full of blockades as possible.

> Can you please fill in on behalf of your group the questionnaire below?
