Details from Prospect HQ, any Archaeology Branch members can join their main group:
[B]Assembly[/B]
The march will assemble on the Embankment, with the start point near Hungerford Bridge, near Embankment tube station. The assembly area has been split into 14 distinct zones stretching east along the Embankment. These zones will be clearly designated, numbered 1 to 14. Prospect has been allocated Zone 10 of the assembly area. This zone is located to the east of Waterloo Bridge near Temple tube station. A map of the area can be found on the TUC website at http://marchforthealternative.org.uk
Given the numbers that are now expected, it has been decided that Prospect members should make their own way to this assembly point at Zone 10 rather than meet up first at New Prospect House.
The TUC advise that people assemble from 11.00am onwards with the march due to begin at noon. Prospect staff will ensure that our union banner and other materials will be at this assembly point from 10.00am. You should bear in mind that central London will be very busy that day, that there are major road closures from 10.00am and that the public transport system, especially the tube network, will also be busy. Members should therefore aim to be at the assembly point in good time so as to allow for easy access. As our section of the march will take some time to move away after the official start, you may wish to consider bringing food and drink. If for whatever reason you miss the start you can of course join the march at points along the route which can be found on the TUC website above.
[B]March and rally[/B]
Once under way the march will proceed to the rally in Hyde Park which is due to begin at 1.30pm. Speakers are planned throughout the afternoon. It is not expected that everyone will stay for the full duration of the rally, indeed to accommodate the numbers envisaged, it is hoped that there will be a throughput of people attending for a short period only so as to allow the rest of the march to access the park.
