The Spirit of '45 at the Curzon Clevedon on 9th June


Ken Loach's new film The Spirit of '45 will be shown at the Film Club at the Curzon Cinema in Clevedon at 7.45 pm on Sunday 9th June.

Trade Union members will be granted Honorary Film Club member status for the night and will get a discount - the ticket price will be reduced to £6.50 or £5.40 concessions.

The box office, exhibition and Lounge Bar will open at 6 pm, the auditorium will open at 7.15 pm, and the main film will start at 7.45 pm.

If you've never been to the Curzon Cinema before you're in for a real treat. The films start when they say they're going to start, the staff are really friendly, you don't get ripped off when you buy popcorn and if you're really lucky there'll be someone playing the organ.

Workers' Memorial Day - 28th April


Sunday 28th April 12.30-2.30pm
Bristol Cathedral

The South West TUC Executive has confirmed its support for a grand gathering of trade unionists and others who wish to remember those killed and injured at work and fight to protect the living. Plans are being developed for a short event in Bristol Cathedral involving the TUC, unions, people who have faced the trauma of accidents at work, various faith community representatives, those who have responsibility for public health and safety at work, etc. People will be invited to gather outside the Cathedral at 12.30 with as many union banners we can muster in order to join a gathering from 1 to 2pm. We hope to a have a good cross section of speakers along with music from Red Notes Choir. It will be important to reflect the international dimension and remember workers around the world killed to supply us with goods, services and news. The event will also highlight those who suffer for challenging dangerous conditions and confront the current attack on health and safety regulations. Following the event, wreaths will be laid at the Workers’ Memorial Day plaque in Castle Park. Plans are still taking shape so please let southwest@tuc.org.uk know if you have suggestions for speakers, music or guests to invite.
