Hello there,

Thank you to everyone who made it out to our Book & Zine Share event at the Glasgow Zine Library! It was lovely to see lots of new faces. For our next gathering we'll be returning to the Glasgow Autonomous Space (GAS) on Sunday May 10th from 4pm.

Group & Project Updates

Here’s a quick summary of updates from the groups and projects we heard from last week:

Accessible Nights Out
A new initiative (final name pending) to organise social events for folks who don’t, or can’t, usually do nights out. COVID-conscious, masks required, accessible by default. Looking for ideas and contributions!

Before you go!

We’re still on the hunt for designers to help us refresh ION Glasgow’s look and feel. If you’d be up for helping us design a proper logo, refine our colour scheme, or help us create some reusable design elements that can work across our socials, posters, website, etc. - we’d love to hear from you!

That's all for this month. If you have any questions or suggestions please don’t hesitate to email IONGlasgow@proton.me or check out our website and discussion forum at ion-glasgow.net.

In solidarity,
ION Glasgow
