SUMMARY:Sunderland Minster\, Remember Srebrenica
DESCRIPTION:From Peter Sagar \nSunderland Minster\, 6.30pm\, 11 July \nAs some of you are aware\, 11th July marks the 28th anniversary of the terrible genocide at Srebrenica in Bosnia when 8372 innocent men and boys were murdered by Serbian forces\, during the war in the former Yugoslvaia. Other massacres also took place during that terrible conflict and all these as well as the events at Srebrenica are remembered by the Bosnian community in the North East every July. \nThis year the main ceremony in our region is in Sunderland at the Minster on 11th July and the proceedings begin at 6pm. These are always very moving and informative events and are very well worth attending. They are opportunities to remember those who lost their lives in the war in Bosnia and also consider how we should respond here in the Northeast in our communities\, to lessen hatred and help build strong communities that can work together to deal with the challenges we face. \nI hope some of you can attend.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Meeting: Disruption and control: Contesting mobility regimes through the picket line in 1970s Britain with Diarmaid Kelliher by Zoom on 18 July at 7.00pm
DESCRIPTION:Through an account of the relationship between picket lines and drivers in Britain\, this talk thinks about questions of mobility in labour history. \nIt focuses on three moments in this period. First\, the 1972 miners’ strike\, when interactions between pickets and hauliers produced moments of powerful solidarity but also violent conflict. \nSecond\, debates around a legislative proposal to require drivers to stop and listen to pickets\, in which contrasting conceptions of mobility ‘rights’ were employed. \nThird\, the 1979 road haulage strike\, which demonstrated drivers’ own ability to disrupt the economy through picketing. At stake in all three was a question of power over movement. Such a focus draws attention to complex methods of control\, which can be missing in labour histories that emphasise the purely disruptive nature of industrial action and picketing. \nDiarmaid is a Lecturer in Human Geography in the School of Geographical & Earth Sciences at the University of Galsgow. \n  \n

SUMMARY:CRAMLINGTON TRAIN WRECKERS (from Ed Waugh)
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 26 @ 2pm & 6.30pm\nThe Hub\, Cramlington \nWe had 160 at the meetings about the Cramlington Train Wreckers on March 30 and the follow-up film/talk in July 26 has already attracted 75 people with seven weeks to go. \nThe event during the General Strike led to the imprisonment of eight Northumberland miners for a total of 48 years. \nA campaign by the labour and trade union movement got them out a lot earlier. It’s an incredible story. \nGiven it happened during the General Strike of 1926\, and we are approaching the centenary\, we are working with local organisations on the project. \nAlso Google: “Cramlington Train Wreckers” to see the work we’ve already done. \nWe have secured the rights to the 30-minute (1970) BBC film called Yesterday’s Witness\, about the Cramlington Train Wreckers. \nEd\n07960066377 \nTO PURCHASE TICKETS \n2pm: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-cramlington-train-wreckers-a-30-minute1970-bbc-film-tickets-607220852917 \n6.30pm: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-cramlington-train-wreckers-a-30-minute1970-bbc-film-tickets-607187172177
