No Smoking Day 2010If you’re a smoker and you’ve had enough of your habit, there’s no better day to stop (apart from tomorrow) than 10th March 2010: No Smoking Day.
What’s more, over one million other would-be quitters will be joining you in the attempt! Over the past few years more and more people have been kicking the deadly habit for good and this trend is due in no small part to No Smoking Day. The Walker Art Gallery is hosting a series of free music concerts, every Saturday from 2pm until 4pm, giving you no excuse not to experience some incredibly talented local artists. Walker Art Gallery

Jimmy will be present at FACT to partake in a Q and A session following the screening. Commonwealth Day 2010
Commonwealth Day focuses on the partnership that exists between countries of the Commonwealth, bridging the gap between an important part of world history and the modern age. The Origins of International Women’s DayAlthough International Women’s Day (IWD) is linked with the socialist movement, it owes its existence to one woman in particular whose vision was facilitated by the United Nations: Clara Zetkin.
Back in 1911 when the inaugural IWD took place on March 19th in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, women didn’t even have the right to vote: ironically, the date was chosen because it commemorated the day that the King of Prussia promised to introduce women’s suffrage in 1848, a promise that never came to fruition. Saint David’s Day, National Day of Wales
The feast day dates back to 1120 and was declared a national day of celebration in the 18th century: today St. David’s Day is marked by parades, recitals, displays and concerts - eisteddfodau – as part of an attempt to raise the international perception of Wales as a cultural centre. |
