This traditional working class movement venue is having an important Labour movement event to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the end of the Miners strike. Several NUM speakers, including President Ian Lavery, North East area NUM President and general secretary, Davy Guy and Davy Hopper, and many more. I think Matt Wrack from the FBU is speaking too.

This event is part of efforts to build a working class movement for the 21st century in these credit crunched times. There is a tremendous need to spread good ideas and the Working Class Bookfair has spawned another event taking place in one of the historically important parts of the working class and labour movement. There are many people, trade unionists and so on who have been to Ruskin College, see here for details;

Ruskin College, Walton Street, Oxford
We cordially invite you to visit the 1st ever OXFORD WORKING CLASS BOOKFAIR! There will be books, talks, workshops, short films and more books and magazines . . .
We plan to recover/reclaim some of the hidden history of Oxford, with its gallery of rogues, rebels and revolutionaries, to touch upon some topics of contemporary relevance to the man & woman on the street today, provide quality entertainment, discuss the big issues past and present & hopefully have a real good time to boot! - All in a relaxed and warm atmosphere!
