Its that time of year again when the Big Meeting hits the streets and old race course of Durham. They close all the roads in and around Durham City centre for all the public to watch the parading of the local Pit Banners / Bands. I used to go nearly every year when i was a youngun and loved it. Then the daft lads started smahing the shop windows and robbing the goods etc, now a days its civilised again and is a great day out for the family. Here is a link to a few
photos i took last year. If you are plaaning on going i would recommend getting there early in the morning as it gets rammed later in the day. Lets hope they have a dry day, the funfair people are already starting to arrive on the river banks next to the old race course.
