A meal to raise funds to support the work of Oxfam in Yemen is to be held on Thursday 26th April, 7.30pm, in the Dil Se Kirkwall. Organised by the Orkney Labour party it is hoped that people will view this as a non party political event and join together to come to the meal.  Fundraising Meal for Yemen
