CND Vice-President Bruce Kent and CND Chair
Dave Knight will be undertaking a 300 mile fundraising walk from Faslane
on Monday 16th July to Fylingdales on 4th August.
They will be drawing attention to the two lost issues of the recent
General Election campaign - Trident and Missile Defence - by speaking at
evening meetings, attending civic receptions and talking to local media
along the route.
The route will pass through Dumbarton, Clydebank, Bathgate, Edinburgh,
Galashiels, Langholm, Carlisle, Haltwhistle, Newcastle, Durham,
Hartlepool, Guisborough and Whitby where there will be a rally and music
in the town centre.
"Missile Defence is clearly going to be a big issue for the new
Labour Government with gathering opposition in Parliament, from the
Trade Unions and general public" said Dave Knight, "and CND
will be at the forefront with our Stop Star Wars and Scrap Trident
campaigns."
Bruce is now in training around Finsbury Park following a successful
operation for prostate cancer. Dave, who is not seeking re-election in
September after 5 years as CND Chair, will be continuing the campaign
against the US use of Fylingdales from his home in the Yorkshire Dales.
