The NEVfL group at the 139th Miners' Gala

We will be participating in the 139th Durham Miners Gala; the world's greatest celebration of community, international solidarity, and working class life.

Despite the horrendous conditions Last year more than 100,000 people packed the streets of Durham to enjoy the sights and sounds of The Big Meet, we were cheered on by People from across County Durham, the country, and further afield

This year we will assemble in the Market Place at 8:00am, our designated entry point into the parade, from here we will parade past the Magdalena steps, across the Elvet Bridge to pass the balcony at the Royal County Hotel and then onto the Racecourse.

Once again we will be joined by relatives of the International Brigade volunteers, the Golden Smog Warriors Basketball team ( https://www.facebook.com/goldensmogbasketball)
the Wigan True Levelers Samaba Band ( https://www.facebook.com/WiganSambaBand) and our usual friends and supporters led by the immaculately dressed Lorrain (see main picture).

This year we will also be joined by members of the the Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d'Italia UK -ANPI UK ( https://anpi.org.uk/en_GB/) and members of Solidarity Sunderland ( https://outa-space.com/2025/02/02/launching-solidarity-sunderland/) because we will be in the Marquee with the Solidarity Sunderland Stall.
