LTB 335/18 – Grenfell Panel Event (Cancellation) & Silent Walk – 14th June 2018

To:      All Branches

Dear Colleague

Grenfell Panel Event (Cancellation) & Silent Walk – 14^th June 2018

Due to the very low numbers that have confirmed for the Grenfell daytime panel event on Thursday 14^th June at 2pm, we have unfortunately made the 18LTB335 – Grenfell Daytime Panel Event (Cancellation) Silent Walk – 14th June 2018sion to cancel this part of the event. Please note, however, that a CWU presence at the Silent Walk in the evening will still be going ahead.

There has been a slight change to the meeting point in relation to the Silent Walk. CWU representatives intending to attend should meet at the ‘Wall of Truth’ next to Maxilla Hall Social Club Ltd, 2 Maxilla Walk, Ladbroke Grove, W10 6NQ.

Given it’s the first anniversary since the tragedy; the organisers are expecting a very large turnout. We would ask that you arrive at the meeting point by 6.30pm at the very latest. Please let the department know if you are able to bring your branch banner.

As we are in the middle of Ramadan and given the demographic of the local community, a number of people will be fasting. It is important that we are sensitive to this point. The organisers are intending to hold the Iftar (breaking of fast) in a park nearby at the end of the walk. Just to make you aware speeches will start after the Iftar at about 9.30pm.

Any enquiries on the content of this LTB should be addressed to dnoel@cwu.org in the Equal Opportunities Department.

Yours sincerely

Dave Ward

General Secretary
