THEY get about a bit, the Pedal4Progress cycling group.
Rides of four or five hundred kilometres aren’t unusual for this dedicated team of Morning Star readers and supporters, who are based in north-west England.
Often there’s a fundraising motive attached to their treks, especially their annual marathon particularly for the Morning Star. Each marathon is known as an “Edition.”
Previously the marathon has seen them cycle from London to Paris for the annual Fete de L’Humanite festival which is attended by more than a million people and raises funds for France’s equivalent of the Morning Star, the L’Humanite newspaper.
THIS year’s Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival will again be an online event, although much of it will be filmed live from the Dorset village. Watch it on www.tolpuddlemartyrs.org.uk or the Tolpuddle Facebook and YouTube channels.
The festival comes just before the legal restrictions to control the pandemic are lifted and amid further confusion and mixed messages from a reckless and incompetent government.
The panel debates and speeches will set out where the labour movement stands on key issues such as how to reset the world of work after the crisis and Angela Rayner will outline her role in leading the Labour Party’s approach to the future of work.
