This is a follow up to our stall of the previous Saturday on the Quadrant. This will be a more relaxed environment to exchange ideas on Brexit. Do support us, join our group, get active in any way that suits you. We are also interested in personal stories as to how Brexit has impacted on you.

63% now want to Rejoin the EU; 13% do still think Brexit is a success....what do you think?

Do just turn up or let me know if you're coming. We hope to see you there and the first two guests receive a free cup of coffee! 

Join us to have a spot of lunch, welcome new members and old, discuss the latest EM campaigns, and help the committee plan for future events in Wandsworth and Merton.

More people than ever are going to the polls this year. And the EU Elections, coming up on June 6th, are a pivotal moment for Europe. In just over 6 weeks' time, 400 million voters will decide the make-up of the European Parliament for the next 5 years.

Whilst the UK is of course not taking part in these elections, it is essential that we have an understanding of the likely outcomes and potential impacts of this election, that of our closest neighbour and biggest trading partner, and grapple with what these mean for the next stage of the UK-EU relationship.

There is a lot at stake but with this webinar we will explore and distil the key things to know about this election.

East Kent for Europe is planning to celebrate the 30 year anniversary by reciprocal day return visits through the Channel tunnel. Calais is keen to host groups from Kent on May 4, and we plan to offer Kent hospitality to their groups on May 5. 

We see this as an opportunity to make a media splash about our cross-Channel links, and highlight the benefits that the Channel tunnel has given us. So are you free to join us on May 4, crossing the Channel by Shuttle,  with posters about those benefits  ?!

In Calais:

Large sandy beaches for family picnics

A nearby skate park, and another for BMX
