Young Members Events: Durham Miners' Gala & Tolpuddle Martyrs' Festival
Submitted by Peter on 25 April, 2011 - 01:34The Durham Miners' Gala and the Tolpuddle Martyrs' Festival are tow important events in the unions calendar. Both take place in July, and this year, for the first time, the RMT has organised activities specifically for young members at both. Dave Marshall of the RMT Organising Unit says that these activities will be "combining education sessions with going along to and enjoying the events themselves."
The Durham Miners' Gala is from the evening of 7th July to the 11th. The Tolpuddle Festival is the following weekend from the evening of the 15th of July to the 17th.
Attached are RMT circulars and application forms for both events.
