List of events planned
February 2025
NOTE CHANGE OF TIME FOR THE TREE CEREMONY
Although our minutes contain a list, it is still useful to highlight them in a specific post. Any of these are a useful opportunity to make yourself known if you would like to join us. Most join because they care about human rights both around the world and here in Britain. Indeed, we have become more concerned about our rights here with a number of pieces of legislation passed to inhibit protests and demonstrations. There seems to be no hurry by the Labour Government to repeal this legislation.
Forthcoming group events
- Vigils continue every Saturday at 5pm in the Market Square by the Library. We had hoped to stop these in view of the ceasefire and exchange of prisoners and hostages, but the future looks uncertain.
- Tree. We have a tree! To commemorate our 50 years since formation, there is a tree in Victoria Park and we are planning a group photo. We hope the last two surviving founder members will be able to attend and it will take place on 4th March at 11:00 am. We’d like as many supporters to be there as possible. The Salisbury group is the last remaining Amnesty group in Wiltshire.
- A conversation with Nazanin Zaghari at the Cathedral on 8th March. The group took place in a number of signings and events to get her freed. It is free and details are on the Cathedral’s site. The group was not invited to have a role.
- South West Conference in Exeter on 22nd March. An enjoyable event with speakers and a chance to meet other groups.
- Evensong at the Cathedral. Date tbc.
- Market Stall, probably in May. If you have any items for the stall please save them up. We can collect if need be. No electricals please.
- People in the Park on 17th May for most of the day.
- Coffee Morning, St Thomas’s on 5th July starting at 10:00 or so until noon.
- Write for Rights on 4th November. Details idc.
These details will be updated in due course. Hope you can make one of them!
