Please come prepared with slogans,catchy or heartfelt to emblason the local area with your protest signs along with using them as a visual aid for any upcoming Centennial Coal meetings!

Given that lunch is during the alloted time-frame it would be nice to share some sustinance, so it would be appreciated if you could bring a plate to share.The hall has warming facilities if you choose to bring hot food.Tea & coffee will be availiable.

All Welcome! It will be very helpful for you to bring a friend.

Please feel free to pass this on to your network-the more participants the greater the outcome.
