SOR rally: "cross the line" to "Fix Our City"

Thursday 3rd June 2010 - 5pm to 6pm at Civic Park

Save Our Rail will rally in Civic Park on Thursday afternoon 5pm to 6pm, opposite the Fix Our City meeting in Town Hall and in opposition to their plans to cut the rail line.

On a satirical note, those who arrive beforehand can see the separate DARC-BICS (Developers Against the Rail Corridor - Building in the Corridor Soon) "property developer" lobby group performance. DARC-BICS's rally will be held outside Town Hall from 4.30pm. Their spokesman stated: "We have waited far too long for the NSW government to remove this train line so that we can build on it".

Event at Worth Place - where you could "cross the line"... Thursday 29th April 2010 - 12 noon at Worth Place Save Our Rail will have a sausage sizzle and music event at Worth Place on Thursday 29th April 2010 at 12 noon. Worth Place is just off Hunter Street, east of the Union St intersection. There is an old Police Station, now a family centre, then a vacant block and then the small street which, in our plans will be a pedestrian level crossing of the rail line.
