Dear Sir,
In 2021 The National Education Union Durham held a competition to design a banner to be carried in the 2022 Durham Miners’ Gala.
My son, Joseph Ashmore (aged 8), who attends Aycliffe Village Primary School, decided to draw High Force and he was lucky enough to be one of the chosen winners.
On Friday 24th June we were invited, by the NEU Durham, to Durham Town Hall along with the other winners for the unveiling of the banner. Joseph was immensely proud (as are we), to find his idea and design was the entire back of the banner.
He can’t wait to join the March on Gala Day with his banner.
