I do not go for the politics. - I go for the brass bands, the marching, the music, the wonderfully ornate mining banners, all the lifelong friends I only see once a year. I have only missed 3 Miner's Galas since 1955. This year I am chaperone to a brass band from Fife in Scotland who we hired to take our banner to The Gala. This is my heritage.
