Witness evening: The strike recalled through oral testimony
Date: Monday 17 November 2014
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: LAB 027
Admission free. All welcome. Refreshments served.
After the remarkable success of the film 'Pride' in local cinemas this event is dedicated to the work of the miners' support groups with members of the public in the Cambridge area and beyond who participated in the humanitarian relief effort to assist the besieged families of striking miners in the coalfields talking about their recollections of the strike. 'Witnesses' including Lucy Munby, Alison New and Vivien Bailey will talk about why they supported the strike, what they did, and about the important friendships formed with men and women in the pit villages that have lasted to this day.
The organisers would like to hear from anyone who took part in the work of the miners' support groups before the meeting. Please email Mary Joannou or Lucy Bland.
