Weekend Reflection: Mayday sundown

Yesterday evening and a nice end to the working week, reflected in suburbam leaded windows.. a contribution to Weekend Reflections.

There are two activfties in town today that I wanted to point out- starting with the Manchester Mayday Festival. Manchester Trades Council will host a celebration of trade unionism at the Mechanics Institute Manchester, the birthplace of the TUC. International Workers' Day is celebrated around the world. "We want Manchester to play its part, with a day of events for trade unionists, our families and everyone who is supportive of our movement. 10.00 Feeder march from Bexley Square in Salford with Salford TUC
11.00 Rally in Piccadilly Gardens with speakers from local campaigns."

11.30 March to the Mechanics Institute with Union banners, the PCS Samba Band and the new NUT band. Bring your branch banner! At 12.00 the day's programme starts at the Mechanics Institute. Free refreshments available during the day. Licensed bar open all day. Films, music and more.

But pop out at 2.00 pm to go back to Piccadilly Gardens to join The Green Parade. We will march round Manchester wearing green to raise awareness of the Green Party and its policies.
