NW TUC Demonstrations

The following has been provided by the PCS NW Regional Secretary:

Dear Colleague,

Please see below two important dates for your diary.

Building on the success of the 26th March, March for the Alternative, 30th June rallies and a good PCS presence at the summer festivals including the Durham Miners' Gala and Tolpuddle, it is important to maintain momentum through the Party conference season. Therefore, we are co-ordinating NW members' involvement in major TUC national demonstrations at:

- Liberal Democrat conference, Birmingham - Sunday 18th September
- Conservative party conference, Manchester - Sunday 2nd October

We expect the PCS North West Regional Banner to be present at both events and will require volunteers to march behind it. Please ensure that these events are brought to the attention of your Branches, Networks and members to maximise attendance. Transport to both will be provided by the regional office and we will subsequently issue a deadline to register for the same.

Given that the Tory conference takes place in our region, we expect the Manchester event to be particularly well supported. Anyone interested in attending should contact either Grant McClure or Katya Lawder by email or on x61186.
