May Day 2017
The Newcastle and Illawarra Sub-Branches are once again joining this year’s May Day celebrations with members from both Sub-Branches joining their local marches in Newcastle and Wollongong respectively. Note that the NSB is marching tomorrow, whereas the ISB and Sydney marches are being held on the following weekend. The details for each follow below.
