We were all set to have a stall, as usual, at this very popular annual event. But after over 30 years without incident, at the last minute the insurers refused to insure it unless stalls with any promoting political, religions or cultural issues were excluded. So along with 28 other stalls we could not be there. Together with several other organisations we held a protest rally outside the Arboretum, as well as going in to express our solidarity with the organisers.
They are working with the insurers to try and ensure that next year, our stall and all the others are able as usual to participate.
