CSM At labour party conference 2010

Preparations for the Annual Labour Party Conference are well underway, and CSM are no exception. After the 14 very successful CSM Conference fringe events in 2009, a similar variety of events has been organised for this year. The events in Manchester range from the Sunday church Service, which always kick starts the Labour Party Conference, held in the Manchester Cathedral this year; to an evening event examining “what it is to be local and Labour”, called Labour neighbours and held at the Friends Meeting House.

 

All of our events are free of charge and will be held outside of the secure zone, so you will not need a conference pass to participate in any of them. The events are all located within very short walking distance from the secure zone, for those of you attending the conference. Click here to see our flier, which includes a map.
