On sunday 24th June about 300 people took part in a demonstration from the Trent-side embankment to Nottingham City centre, where a meeting was hela iis far as could be ascertained the marchers were about half N.U.P.i. and half trade unionists, young socialists, labour paty members, etc. Of the N.U.P.ii. marchers the majority would appear to be nurses (mostly male) although only a minority were in unifcrm. There were banners from the Trades Council, A.u.U., Tobacco Yorkers, various Young Socialist branches and other organisations. Among the nurses in uniform there were a number of coloured girls (mostly Africans from their appearance).
The meeting was a bit of a fiasco, the loudspeaker equipment was not working and the only people who could hear what the speakers were saying were already convinced of the nurses case. The South Notts. Federation of Young Socialists produced a special leaflet, giving the nurses case on one side and a general statement of the aims of the Young Socialists on the other; several hundred were distributed. Young Guard was on sale and many were sold (the exact number is not knovwm yet)
