GM Crop Trials - Protest

poon | 09.04.2007 09:21 | Bio-technology | Ecology | Health | Cambridge

The first GM Crop Trials in years are getting underway in Cambridge. This is widely being viewed as a test of public opinion and if we let these trials go ahead with little or no opposition, more GM trials, and eventually commercial growing will be here before we know it. Please come along and support this protest and keep an eye on our (currently very basic) website -  http://www.cambridgeaction.net/gmconcern

Cambridge GM potato protest walk
Saturday 14th April


As you may well be aware by now, NIAB and BASF are planning to plant GM
potato trials in fields just North of Cambridge. The area around
NIABs'land is peppered with public footpaths, so we thought it would be a
lovely idea to have a stroll around between Histon and Girton, to show
some solidarity against the trials.

We'll be meeting up at the Histon Baptist Church, that's the large red
brick church on station road in Histon, at 11:00am on Saturday 14th April.
 http://www.histonbaptist.org.uk/Home/location.php

We'll be designing placards and signs while we wait for people, so bring
some pens and have fun designing a slogan!

The Citi 7 bus goes from drummer street and Cambridge train station every 10
minutes, and should take about 15-20 mins to get there. You'll spot us
gathering by the church.

The walk takes about an hour, and we'll be providing food at end in the WI
hall in Girton, something to recover your strength after the walk, kindly
provided by Arjuna Wholefoods. There'll be plenty of opportunity on the
way to sit down or play games, and we encourage families to join in just
as much as individuals, it's a lovely part of town! There'll be some
rousing words spoken at some stage too, just to remind ourselves why we're
doing this.


If you don't like the idea of GM crops being tested in our area, are
unsure of their safety, or just love spending a day outdoors in the fine
company of your fellow human beings, please come and join us!
