***PLEASE NOTE REVISED DATE AND TIME***
Following a number of apologies and suggestions this protest will now take place:
Dear Glenalbyn Supporter
This Thursday Glenalbyn will be shut 5 years.
I have organised a protest / photo outside the main entrance of Glenalbyn. It is vital that we keep Glenalbyn, and its closure in the public eye. Please forward this to any other supporters you know. It will only take 20 minutes of your time.
If you are going to attend please email back to confirm attendance.
Again please don’t hesitate in contacting me on this or any other local issues.
