Durham City: An invite is extended to all members of NELHS to attend the National Women Against Pit Closures 40th Anniversary March
March 2 @ 12:30 - 21:00
The parade of banners will assemble at Palace Green (Cathedral) at 12.30 where we will sing the Women’s Song and the Riverside Brass Band will play Gresford and at 1pm we will parade down Saddler Street and then on to Elvet Bridge led by the Riverside Brass Band. The parade will end outside the Swan and Three Cygnets with another song and the band playing Sweet Caroline. We would love you to join in with us or just watch from the street.
There is also a performance by Joe Solo outside Dunelm House (Durham Students Union building in New Elvet) and Durham miners’ banners will provide a guard of honour for the women of the coalfields.
There will be an event in Dunelm House in the afternoon which unfortunately is sold out but a few places remain for the evening (again in Dunelm) please click on the following link if you want tickets for it.
