Action against delegate's dinner

Le Meridien, Grovsenor House, Park Lane W1

The biannual Farnborough Air Show is taking place between 22nd – 28th July. Whilst the public days are championed as fun days out for all the family, the reality is very different. Farnborough is an arms fair and a very important date in the defence industry calendar.

The Farnborough International Dinner is described as “the social event of the Air Show week” and is where the most important networking will be done. It will be attended by Jack Straw, giving explicit support to recent controversial defence contracts such as the BAE Systems deal with India to supply Hawk jets.

Campaign Against Arms Trade will be outside to provide a noisy presence for the delegates as they arrive for their feast of death. Come and show that we will not tolerate the suffering, misery and destruction that their trade is causing throughout the world.
