Durham Miners Gala Saturday July 11th 2015

[The Black Hand]

Well folks, it's being organised, posters ready. Does anybody want some?

For those who don't know, it's the biggest regular annual labour movement event in the world I think, never mind the UK.

The coalfield communities and their allies put on a great show, a massive march, nearly 200 banners, bands, tents, beer, stage, fairground and lots more...

I remember going to this in the late 80s - a good day out.

 

[Sweet Meiga]

I'm definitely going.

Cheers for the reminder! I'll be there with two of the kids unless the weather is atrocious and then it will just be me!

Got some on my old phone. Will try and dig them out. Was a cracking day. Beautiful weather and masses of people. Lot of support for jezza.
