TALK AND DVD
"The Angel of Death
has been abroad"
A poetic Anti-War Masterpiece
by
JOHN BRIGHT
Presented by the film-maker
Nick Wildman
and
anti-war activist Rae Street
AT THE
FRIENDS MEETING HOUSE,
MEETING HOUSE LANE,
LANCASTER.
ON
9th MAY, 2012
7.30PM
John
Bright was a principled Quaker, industrial capitalist, and Corn Law
Reformer. The talk and dvd will feature John Bright's most moving
and brilliant speech arguing for peace, and given in the House of
Commons on 23rd February, 1855, on the war against Russia in the Crimea.
He was strongly opposed to slavery and encouraged the cotton workers of Manchester to support Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War (1861-65). He remained in politics until the end of his life, never wavering from his radical convictions.

ROCK SOLID?
DR HELEN WALLACE,
AUTHOR OF THE ORIGINAL ROCK SOLID? REPORT, WILL TALK ABOUT HER WORK ON LAKE DISTRICT GEOLOGY AND NUCLEAR WASTE DISPOSAL,
ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, FROM 7PM
AT THE BOX, KENDAL.
THIS IS VERY NEAR THE KENDAL MUSEUM, SITE OF THE EXHIBITION "ROCK SOLID?".
THE EXHIBITION IS ON UNTIL JUNE 16
To find the 'box' proceed down Stramongate. Go straight over at cross roads, continue towards river and bridge and the Riverside Hotel. Turn left at Riverside and the Box is on right hand side of the road, set back, a wonderfully weird modern looking building, built in the shape of a wonky box!
REMEMBERING CHERNOBYL
THE EVENT ORGANISED BY IRENE SANDERSON TO COMMEMORATE CHERNOBYL DAY IN KENDAL ON APRIL 25TH PROVED HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL, COLLECTING 90 SIGNATURES IN OPPOSITION TO CURRENT PLANS FOR NUCLEAR WASTE DISPOSAL IN CUMBRIA.
MANY THANKS TO IRENE FOR ORGANISING THE DAY, AND TO MARIANNE BIRKBY, WHO ORGANISED THE EXHIBITION AND GUIDED US AROUND IT.
