As protests get underway on the opening day of their Leicester dates, the 'great' British Circus announce their next venue at the end of April as Sutton Coldfield - rather than Nottingham as expected.

Leicester demos will be held during their (extended) run from April 12 - 27 at Leicester Road, Glen Parva, Leicester, LE29TG

Details are at http://www.veggies.org.uk/event.php?ref=277

After waiting patiently Nottingham campaigners note that overdue dates in Nottingham seem to have been skipped (again). Having opened in Nottingham for many years, they started going elsewhere a few years ago, before visiting Nottingham in April. Two years ago they missed Nottingham all together, but returned last year.

Lets make sure that they are never made welcome in Nottingham again.
