To encourage all you lovely Glaswegians to come and join in this years May Day celebrations, the May Day Organising Group, had a stall in Argyle Street outside the Argyle railway station entrance. Lots of leaflets giving info on the May week events were handed out and well received.
So just to refresh your memories here are the details once again. Hope to see you all at one or all of these vents, let's make May Day a people's day, as it should be, and not a politicians platform as it seem to have become.
