An event in the Forest of Dean on the 6th June 2010.

Thanks to everybody who turned out for the Bristol Radical History Group Election Special. In all about 515 people turned up which averages out at 47 per event, peaking with around 80 for the walk and the Bring & Burn.

It looks like we may just break even and so will live to fight another campaign.

For those of you who were following the closely fought pamphlet constituency, Captain Swing  narrowly won the seat with White Slavery coming in second.

BRHG have release two new pamphlets:

#12 Tolpuddle And Swing – The Flea And The Elephant and #13Bristol’s White Slave Trade – Indentured and Enforced Labour In The 17th Century.

Please note that the venue for Every Cook Can Govern has been changed from the GWRSA to the Stag And Hounds at the bottom of Old Market, next to the evening post building.

The memorial to the four Bristol volunteers who joined the International Brigades to fight fascism in the Spanish Civil War in Castle Park is to be surrounded by a vivid mosiac border in Republican colours and will be unveiled at 12 noon on 14th April – the anniversary of the day the Republic was declared in 1931.
