Friends of the Gala Banner


Welcome to the Durham Miners’ Association official website.

This site has been established to publicise the activity of the Durham Miners Association and in particular to raise material support for the Durham Miners Gala which continues to grow year on year.

In the coming weeks and months we aim to build this site so that it truly reflects the rich heritage of the Durham Coalfield not just as an interest in the past but as a guide to the present and future struggle of working people.

We hope you enjoy the experience, visit us regularly and join the Friends Of The Durham Miners Gala.
