The Stone Cross St George’s Day parade will take place on April 19 and will end in Dartmouth Park.

Don’t forget Sandwell Council changed the day of the funday from Sunday to Saturday so they could ban the march. Everyone should stay away on the Saturday and turn up for the march on the Sunday.
Also don’t forget when the local elections are due remember the councillors who wanted to ban the St Georges Day Parade.
