Miners Gala - from 1994 |
|
This annual event has long been
on the 'cultural' calendar of the region. It is some years since it could
truely claim to be a 'miners' gala, and has become a platform for trade
unionist to demonstrate their solidarity! Parades, brass bands, left wing
politicians, speeches . . . and cloth caps, all remain part of the scenery.
