MINERS' MEMORIAL DAY PRESS RELEASE - 22 MARCH 2006
The National Union of Mineworkers (Yorkshire Area) is to organise a Miners? Memorial Day to be held in Barnsley on 01 October 2006 at 11.00 noon at St Mary?s Church, Barnsley. The Memorial Day will be to commemorate all those miners who lost their lives working in the mining industry or as a result of working in the mining industry.
At the moment there is no official recognition of the thousands of people both, men women and in some cases children, who lost their lives.
Steve Kemp NUM National and Yorkshire Area Secretary said:
?For far too long there has not been a proper memorial for those who lost their lives as a consequence of working in the mining industry and the Yorkshire Area of the NUM is put that right so that the relatives, friends and descendents of those who paid the ultimate price for coal can attend a church service in remembrance of those they have lost.?
Further and better details regarding the event will be made available in due course.
