Durham Big Meeting cancelled for the second year running

A gala-day scene from the last Big Meeting, in July, 2019 THE Durham Miners’ Gala has been cancelled for the second year running due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic. Durham Miners’ Association (DMA), which organises the annual mass gathering on city Racecourse on the second Saturday in July, said it took the decision “reluctantly” after discussions with partner organisations. Events moved online last year early in the Covid crisis and the 2021 planned gala, on Saturday July 10, was to have been the 150th Big Meeting. In a letter to banner groups, trade unions and “Gala partners”, DMA secretary Alan Mardghum said the time scale of the Government’s announced ‘roadmap’ to recovery made it difficult to put everything in place to stage the events safely.

Burns Night: How the Bard and Scotland are tied to the Durham miners

THIS magnificent miners banner dating from the 1890 s and still regularly on display at Beamish Museum, County Durham, is living proof that Robert Burns values of egalitarianism and radicalism were appreciated outside his native Scotland - even in the days before the internet turned the Bard into a worldwide icon. The Lambton lodge banner - made in the North East of England by SM Peacock of South Shields and featuring the 1787 Alexander Nasmyth portrait of Burns and an image of his Alloway birthplace - is one of three Durham miners banners of the time to honour the ploughman poet . However only the giant 10ft x 9ft one (above) is still in existence.

Henry Richardson remained loyal to the working class

TRIBUTES have been paid to Henry Richardson, general secretary of the Nottinghamshire area of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) during the strike against pit closures of 1984-5. Richardson was a tower of strength for the minority of Nottinghamshire miners who were loyal to their union during the strike. Most of the Nottinghamshire coalfield the second largest coalfield in Britain after Yorkshire scabbed, betraying their fellow mineworkers whose jobs were under threat from pit closures. Richardson picketed his own pits in an effort to persuade the Nottinghamshire miners of their folly warning them that their pits would be next for closure if they did not stand with the mineworkers of Yorkshire, Scotland, South Wales and elsewhere in resisting the Thatcher government’s closures plan.
