Don’t miss this powerful and moving presentation of a story of non violent resistance and the amazing resilience of a people who live daily under Israeli occupation by Theresa Wolfwood. Theresa is Director of the Barnard-Boecker Foundation Centre in Canada and a longstanding human rights activist. She has over the years built up deep contacts in all areas of Palestinian society, in the villages and cities of the West Bank to the refugee camps of Lebanon and Jordan. Often at the cutting edge of that resistance, she has been tear gassed and threatened by Israeli soldiers.

Free Entrance. A Joint RISC/Reading Palestine Solidarity Campaign Event.

Big Day Out Festival of Music & Performing Arts
Big Day Out Festival has survived 4 continuous years as a celebration of all that’s good in new music and the performing arts. The festival often feels like a summary of everything you’ve not heard about or got excited about but is definitely worth seeing and if the great outdoors is where you’re at, then Big Day Out Festival is bound to have something for you.
There’s a strong family focus to the event, especially during daylight hours and Big Day Out in 2010 will be no different, with the festival’s day-time activities climaxing in a Children’s parade at 5.30pm. After this, Big Day Out takes on a stronger adult appeal with all kinds of events going on under canvas and outdoors too.
Entry costs £3 in advance or £5 on the door – under 18s FREE!
For tickets and more details, call the box office on (01344) 484123 or visit: bigdayout2010.webs.com
We will be there for the full day – so don’t forget to stop by and say hello!
