Despite venue problems we are determined to press ahead with this event, which will be established in the annual political calendar in the North East
Despite being booked since early this year, and publicity on the internet and leaflets having been spread since then. The venue (St Nicholas Church, Durham Market Place) had to pull our events cos of concerns with fire regulations. Despite negotiations and options being explored, we have recently received final notice that this is the case. It was felt that there was no way of contacting all those who have received leaflets and so as not to have a wasted journey the event should go ahead elsewhere.
After searching for a viable close central alternative cos it was felt that the older generations leafletted at a couple of Miners events such as the Durham Miners Gala would not walk very far, it was decided to book the Meeting room at Durham Central Library 100 yards away on Claypath so that a smaller event can take place.
Bookfair activists will be at the old venue from the advertised time to re-direct people to the meeting room will be available at Durham central Library from 12-30 onwards on Saturday November 3rd, until 4.30pm.
