Please support the injustice done when the State Pension Age for women was raised without giving us sufficient notice of the change.

ARRANGEMENTS FINALISED FOR MARCH 8th 2018

Those who arrive via train/bus can you please arrive at Cardiff Central Station as close to 11:15am as possible.

from there we will walk in groups as they arrive through St Mary Street, turning left towards the Angel hotel, there cross the road to the end of the Cardiff castle wall.
Here we will congregate, & commencing at 12-30pm, we shall make a short procession past Cardiff Castle towards the statue of Aneurin Bevan where we will stand for speeches by MPS AMS and Dignitaries, details of which will be posted nearer the event.

The procession will be led hopefully by Stevie Maddern our own town crier!!

After the speaches, those who wish to can join us at Henrys Bar/Restuarant were we have booked a grand old fashioned tea party !!

Many of us will be wearing the dress of the Suffragettes black & purple being the colour of the modern day WASPI Suffragettes!
We will attempt to tie purple ribbons we're er we go!!
We can take banners and placards but be mindful that many establishments won't take kindly to having them taken inside.

Please can we have approx numbers off those intending to join us.
Kay Ann Clarke will be in touch with groups for numbers wishing to come for tea, this is at a pre paid cost of £6.50 per head.

We will be orderly & cause little or no disruption to the general public, although the sight WASPI Suffragettes will no doubt get us noticed!

For safety reasons we have been requested by South Wales Police to have a number of volunteers prepared to wear a fluorescent arm band and steward for us for the duration of the procession. Those willing to do so please let us know.

Remember!! This is a procession to celebrate the centenary of the Women's Sufferage movements & woman's right to vote and is on International Women's Day. As modern day Suffragettes we will remember them along with those fellow WASPI members that we have sadly lost along the way. vintage and antique wears for a wedding

The Aneurin Bevan statue is a very poignant venue for our speeches with the NHS also suffering in these troubled times.
