Former mineworkers are offered free entry to @Ashington_FC’s home game this Saturday, April 13. The club is making the offer to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1984-85 Miners Strike. The opposition is Grantham Town. Kick off is 3pm. (1/2)
With Chris Kitchen of the NUM, I’ve written to Keir Starmer to raise the issue of unjustly criminalised miners from the 84/85 strike. @DurhamMiners @DurhamGala Starmer urged to pardon and compensate striking miners if he wins keys to No10 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Proud to help launch Durham Pride 2024. To mark 40 years of our solidarity with the LGBT+movement since the 1984-85 strike, the DMA banner will lead the Durham Pride march. Join us on Sunday 26 May, leaving Palace Green at 12.30pm (1/2)
Our "Solidarity and the 1984/85 Miners’ Strike" exhibition is now in Sway sway.cloud.microsoft/83XmGXBJjUb4i7… @LdnMetSpecColl @LondonMetUni @orgreavejustice @Kelliher_D @Miners_Strike @CoalfieldWomen @DurhamGala @swminerslibrary
Remembering the great Tony Benn, who passed away ten years ago today, on 14 March 2014. He's pictured with the Blackhall banner, which carries his portrait. As is tradition when we lose one of our own, the Blackhall banner was draped in black at the Gala that year.
On #InternationalWomensDay we salute the women who 40 years ago sustained our communities during the #MinersStrike. The contribution of woman that year - and throughout our history - is immeasurable. Last weekend Women Against Pit Closures marched proudly through Durham.
Join us in London w/ @RedhillsDurham on Tues 12 March to mark the 40th anniversary of the Miners' Strike with a fantastic line up inc @cjrkitch_NUM_GS, @mikeinpride, @lgsmigrants, @LGSMpride, @VictoriaHughe5 Tickets are free but RSVP as space is limited: SolidarityRedhillsLBC.eventbrite.co.uk
In today’s Daily Mirror and Daily Record, @ewangibbs and I have an exclusive on how Thatcher’s government delayed pit closures till after the 1983 general election - knowing they would provoke a national strike.
'We're standing... we're still here' - 40th Anniversary of the Women against Pit Closures movement. An incredible day in #Durham @RedhillsDurham @DurhamMiners #Mining #WomensHistoryMonth @marykfoy
"The dispute was not about pay and conditions but rather a fight to preserve an industry, communities and a way of life." DMA chairman Stephen Guy writes for @TheNorthernEcho, reflecting on 40 years since the 1984-85 Miners Strike. Read more here ↓ thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/24152827.…
Honoured to support the Women Against Pit Closures event in Durham today, marking 40 years since the start of the 1984-85 Miners Strike. The march and rally celebrated the central role of women throughout and beyond the dispute. The past we inherit; the future we build.
Pits and Perverts 10 Dec 1984. Making preparations before the evening event. Mark Ashton looking at the camera. Hefina Headon far right with black skirt. We filled the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London to capacity - 1,500 of our supporters.
Everyone at the DMA is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ronnie Campbell. The former miner & MP for Blyth Valley was as solid & dependable as they come and a great friend & supporter of ours, and the @DurhamGala. Our condolences to Ronnie’s family and friends.
Friends in Manchester have organised a memorial event taking place tomorrow 11th February in memory of Mark. Sackville Gardens 1pm.
Kropotkin was a speaker at the 1882 @DurhamGala

The very best wishes of everyone at the DMA go to Tot Holyoak, who has been celebrating his 100th birthday today. Tot worked at Wearmouth Colliery from 1938 until 1983. He continues to attend the @DurhamGala - as he has done for about 90 years! Many happy returns Tot!
