March for the Alternative: Transport for 26th March to London Rally

Northampton Alliance Defending Services, with the help of PCS Regional Office in Birmingham, are looking to arrange coaches to attend the March for the Alternative on 26th March.

At the moment we are looking to run coaches from Northampton and Wellingborough, but may consider other parts of the county if there is enough demand.

If you would like to attend  please email me on northamptonanticuts@gmail.com, with contact details and let me know which town you would like to be picked up from.
