 “We may open up the coaches to members of other unions and community groups at the seat cost near to the time if we are able to do so. If you have particular requests please email our dedicated mailbox”

 “Our Cornwall coaches are being organised separately through the Local Government, and Community and Acute health branches. Because it is such a long way members will be able to travel up on the Saturday and stay overnight before the march, and then travel back late Sunday, rather than have to leave very early and get home very late.
