Reclaim the Power National Gathering – Blackpool

Roll up, roll up, it’s time for bank holiday (near) Blackpool!

With exciting plans for the ‘Rolling Resistance’ in Lancashire this July, on Sat 27th and Sun 28th May, Reclaim the Power will be holding a ‘National Gathering’ in Lancashire to develop plans and get organising.

Whether you’re totally new to anti-fracking or Reclaim the Power, or a familiar face, come along to find out more and get stuck in. This is a national meeting and planning session, and all are welcome.

We’ll be holding the meeting at the Polytunnels (Maple Farm) at the Preston New Road site, near where operations for the first commercial fracking site in the UK are underway.

Accommodation: Camp of New Hope

Accessible / non camping accommodation: Please contact info@reclaimthepower.org.uk

Camping space will be kindly provided at the existing ‘New Hope Community Action Camp’, found on Preston New Road next to Lytham Windows, 5 minutes from Maple Farm.

Please bring your own tent, roll matt, sleeping bag and whatever you’ll need to camp!

Feel free to arrive whenever you like, and stay and support as long as you want.
