The Communist Party is planning, in conjunction with members of the International Brigade Memorial Trust, to repeat last year’s North East commemoration events for the ‘Volunteers for Liberty’ from the North East who gave their lives in Spain.

The Middlesbrough event will be outside the Dorman Museum at 2.00pm on Sunday 31 October.

The event will be relatively short, and will involve speeches, poetry, the reading of the names of the fallen, and the laying of wreaths (in Middlesbrough, in the Tees by the Newport Bridge).
