Hanbury Memorial Hall Statement

On Saturday 19/10 Hanbury Memorial Hall was booked for a 50th Birthday party. However on that morning it soon transpired that the booking was infact for a neo nazi, right wing meeting for Patriotic Alternative.

The Committee had no prior knowledge of the real reason the hall was booked and immediately contacted the police. The police were aware and monitoring the situation. On Police advice the event was allowed to continue.

Whilst the Committee agrees with Freedom of Speech, it in no way would support neo nazi views and would not have allowed the booking if the true purpose of the group had been known.

No further comment will be made
