Meet at the main gates of Showgrounds at 8.30 for procession to the market to meet Mayor Simon Richardson. A separate prize is offered for the most unique banner or placard about CSG mining in the shire.

Byron Shire Councillors will also be involved in making a concrete decision concerning CSG signage in the shire. On Thursday 13th June, at council"s meeting, a motion from Cr Duncan Dey will be tabled to decide whether council will erect official Gasfield-Free signs in the Shire, the signs being paid for by community.

Mullumflicks will be showing movie: "A Fierce Green Fire – the Battle for a Living Planet" on Saturday 15th June. This is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement narrated by Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Isabel Alende and more. Additionally, a short movie by David Lowe documents the magnificent 8,000 strong May Day CSG rally in Sydney last year. Info: http://www.travellingflicks.com
