CND AT 60
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was founded on 17th February 1958. Many anniversary events are planned including the launch of a new book: here's a heads-up.
Kate Hudson's book CND at 60 describes the development of nuclear weapons and the waves of civil society outrage and protest they inspired. From Polaris to Trident, the London to Aldermaston marches to mobilisations against cruise missiles, the story of 60 years of the largest single-issue peace campaign in Europe is told from the perspective of one of Britain's foremost peace campaigners. It will be launched in London on Thursday 8th March • Register
The logo  The role of CND's logo - now an internationally recognised peace symbol - will be marked with a symbol tour of Britain. A giant three-dimensional logo installation will visit more than twenty dramatic locations across Britain, including the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the White Cliffs of Dover and the Angel of the North in Gateshead.
Aldermaston  The symbol will also visit the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston, the target of anti-nuclear campaigners in every decade since the founding of CND in the 1950s. The symbol will be joined by CND supporters from across Britain on Easter Sunday, 1st April for a rally and celebrations.
60 faces of CND exhibition  A new exhibition will tell the stories of 60 people and their contribution to the peace movement in Britain. Featuring photos of protest, politicians and passionate people, along with a history of CND in their own words. The exhibition will be displayed online as well as at reception in Parliament on 21st February.
Peace, People and Protest  A cultural event will take place in central London in June celebrating the role of music, song, and spoken word in the history of our campaign. More details shortly.

Peace Vigil

Action Planning 
Meetings are on the first Wednesday of the month, at 7:30 pm at the Friends Meeting House, York Street, Bath BA1 1NG. The next one is on Wednesday 7th February - alas clashing with the Bristol Stop War Coalition public meeting mentioned above ... Which one will you go to?
