Say No to Nuclear - Peace Launch 11th August

The Powerpod was at the Scottish Covenant for Peace
Launch on Saturday 11 August at Wiston Lodge, nr Biggar.
Scotland's for peace is a new and broad based campaign
with a desire that Scotland should be known for its
contribution to international peace and international justice
rather than for waging war.

As well as the activities of the Powerpod the children's activities at the event were being organised by Woodcraft members Rachel, Chis and Jane from Portobello in Edinburgh.
Heavy rain throughout the day kept visitors to the Powerpod to the dedicated few. We found time to build the new solar car kits and try out the new powerful lamp on them - however the cars proved disappointing especially to the children who had spent most of the morning session putting them together. Of course it didn't help when it was found the motors had been wired up wrongly by the manufacturers. Hopefully they shall work better next time when there is some sun.

The Powerpod was the guest of the Edinburgh Peace and Justice Centre.
