A CELEBRATION OF MINERS’ LODGE BANNERS
Over 400 people attended this event at Bowburn Community Centre, Saturday 11th September, and enjoyed the display of over 40 banners under one roof. Included were rarely seen examples as well as more recent replicas and community banners.
An exhibition of prints by Durham Photographic Society members, “Big Meeting Memories of 2009” was well received. DPS members have been associated with the Bowburn Banner Group since 2006 when we did a project, funded by DCC, documenting the Bowburn Centenary Banner. This included the arrival of the banner into the community, banner practice, marching through the village and streets of Durham on Big Meeting day and dedication in the Cathedral.
