/calendar/aldermaston0404.jpgFollowing the House of Commons decision to replace Trident, CND is organising a demonstration at AWE Aldermaston - Britain's nuclear bomb factory - on the 50th anniversary of the first Aldermaston march.

Join us on Easter Monday, 24th March, at 12noon at AWE Aldermaston, Tadley in West Berkshire.


"We are organising a demonstration at Aldermaston to mark the 50 anniversary of the first Aldermaston march. We intend to have events at each gate and, at some point, link arms around the base. Would Veggies be up for coming along. Ideally it would be good if you were mobile so that you could travel between the gates. It would be good to have you there."

Veggies will be based at 'Home Office Gate' on the A340 (north, not east, from the roundabout at SW corner of site) Paices Hill Road.

The Nottingham Coach is going to the 'Boiler House Gate' - which is the 50's gate.

Bike ride March 22nd-26th 2008


Bikes not bombs are planning a bike ride from London to Aldermaston Atomic Weapons Establishment and back again, as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the first Aldermaston march.

The bike ride is expected to take 4 days (22nd March - 26th March 2008). If you would be interested in attending, or even better, in helping to organise it, then please email info@bikesnotbombs.org.uk.

Fifty years on from the first Aldermaston march, anti-nuclear campaigners need to work quickly to halt the trident replacement. Aldermaston atomic weapons establishment is now building research facilities to build the next generation of nukes, despite this being illegal under the international non-proliferation treaty. Grab your bikes and come and help us stop them.

More than 5000 people are expected to attend the surround the base event at Aldermaston on the 24th March and we will form part of the bike block.

The bike ride will take an active role in anti-arms trade activities. The first organising meeting will be at the London Action Resource Centre (LARC) on January 26th, at 2pm.

For more info please contact info@bikesnotbombs.org.uk
