Green Monday speakers

Reports from PNR show that conditions for the popular sport of 'Frack Surfing' have been really good - with environmental champions doing particularly well on recent Green Mondays and Black Fridays in particular! Thankfully, Cuadrilla are confident that - despite the financial problems of Third Energy at KM8 - they will be able to continue to provide (at least, for the moment) sufficient trucks to enable protesters to carry on enjoying this sport.

As reported below, we've now got Green Monday speakers confirmed for 5 consecutive weeks, starting on Monday 26 February, bringing us to the end of March. Fortunately, the long-range forecast suggests that, for these Green Mondays, conditions should be particularly good - so it's hoped that there'll be REALLY BIG crowds to watch PNR's Frack Surfers show us just what they can do! Who knows, some of the crowd may be so overwhelmed by the excitement that they'll need to sit down for several hours (the seating in front of the gates provides the best views!)?! SO…  make sure you - & LOADS of your friends - are there to watch the fun (all being well, I'm hoping to be able to return to PNR on Monday 26 Feb)!! 

Until technical issues can be resolved, this Update (as was last week's) is without photos. 'Normal' service will be resumed as soon as possible!
