Come for a protest walk on Monday!!

May 6, 2012
Dear All,

An easy Bank Holiday afternoon stroll around Fareham Common to see just how much countryside will be swallowed up by the SDA planned 7,000 housing development.

Meet outside the Miners Arms at 2:00pm Monday. Easy walking, buggy friendly, 1 to 1&1/2 hour stroll in pleasant company with like minded people. Might even be tempted into a pint at the miners afterwards. Love to see you all there,

Love and Peace
Jim
