From Kath Connolly

Education 4 Action are a group of volunteers working to celebrate our mining and union heritage. Amongst other things, we have provided tours of the Miners’ Hall at Redhills, organised meetings for major speakers in the week of the Big Meeting as well as developing our schools programme which has been successful in raising awareness of the need to work together in a democratic way to challenge injustice.

We are now publishing Mining The Memories, a collection of memories about what it was like to grow up in the mining communities of County Durham.

The book will be launched at the newly restored Redhills in Durham City on Thursday 10 July, 1.00 – 2.30pm and to book your place at our free launch please go to https://redhillsdurham.org/event/mining-the-memories-book-launch/ Special guests are Fiona Hill, Bill Elliott and the Rickleton School Choir.

If you can’t make that date we are having an evening event on Monday 7 July at 7.00pm in the People’s Bookshop, Prince Bishop’s Shopping Centre, Durham. To book your free place for this you should email me at .

Please circulate to those who you think will be interested.

Best wishes
Kath and Education 4 Action
